You must be an Administrator to create an User account on domain based Windows 7 computer. Further, you can only create local user accounts, which give people access to your computer but don't give them access to the domain. To do so, just follow these steps:-

• Go to Start Menu and type mmc, press Enter.
• This will open Microsoft Management Console.
• If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
• In the left pane of Microsoft Management Console, click Local Users and Groups.
• Click the Users folder.
  
• Click Action, and then click New User.
  
• Type the appropriate information in the dialog box, and then click Create.
  
• When you are finished creating user accounts, click Close.
• Thats it..

Thanks for quick and valuable reply, mate. That is what i expect from you all guys.. I am having some little problem here. As you said, i opened Microsoft Management Console but i can't find Local Users and Groups anywhere in the left pane. Is there any issue with my system ? Please help.

If you don't see Local Users and Groups, it's probably because that snap-in hasn't been added to Microsoft Management Console. Follow these steps to install it:

1. In Microsoft Management Console, click the File menu, and then click Add/Remove Snap-in.
   
   
2. Click Local Users and Groups, and then click Add.
   
   
3. Click Local computer, click Finish, and then click OK.
