Domain user accounts are created in the User Manager. When an account is created, it is automatically recorded in the SAM of the Principal Domain Controller (PDC), which then synchronises it with the rest of the domain. As soon as an account is created in the SAM of the PDC, the user can log onto a domain from any domain workstation.
