The traditional way for creating user is through going to the start button of the computer and click on the computer. Right click on the computer and choose properties. In the system property window, select computer name and click on the change so as to update and implement the changes. In the next dialogue window, enter the name of the unique code for a given computer in the network. Rename the workgroup and then click on ok. Ensure that each computer to be used by a different sales agent has a unique code that can be used to identify the computer in the network. Once all these have been completed, the system will prompt the user to restart the computer so that the changes can be implemented.

Enter the managers who are in the group and then click ok. On the sales group, right click on the group and then choose the members tab. Click on the Add button and enter the names of all the sales representatives which had been created in part (i) above. The names are supposed to be entered in the order which they were created with.
Once you have selected all the users required for the creation of the workgroup, click on the ok button so as to close the select users’ option. Click on the okay button so as to close the Sales property window. Once all the open properties windows have been closed, select the new option and then select the option for the group.

Once all these have been done, there is need to create a universal sales group. The procedure here is similar to the one mentioned above using the Group Name insertion.
