As a follow up to Rishis request I've put together an Applescript to add users - the script and write up can be found at http://www.millshalligan.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=entry070202-115718

It tells you how to do this from the command line - which you could easily call from ARD inside a script (apple/bash etc).

Cheers

Hi

Let me re-state my question.

What I have is 12 iMacs running Mac OS X - Tiger. There is no server
on the network, so thus no LDAP server.

I want to create a local user called student on each of the 12 iMac
systems (NetInfo DB - whatever)

Is there an Apple Script I can run remotely using ARD (Apple Remote
Desktop)?
