Difference between Users

[Turan Aydin]

Hello,

I use SBS2003 and I see that there are 3 different type to create USER:
1. Using SERVER MANAGEMENT and add user
2. From Active Directory add user under USERS folder
3. From Active Directory add user under SBSUSERS folder

If we crate user is from SERVER MANAGEMENT, the user is not listed under
USERS and SBSUSERS folder.

My question is what is difference between these 3 type of users and which is
right one.
Same question is also for Computers and SBSComputers

Best regards,
Turan

Users and SBSUsers are containers.

What container is it created in?

Wherever you want your users created, create them. Or move them from
whatever container they're in to the one of your choice.
