The use of the command was working flawlessly with all versions prior to 8.*. Now it doesn't work properly. I followed the instructions from the Ipswitch KB when I created the alias. Maybe that WAS my fault. I'm now thinking seriously about alternatives. After all, I don't see cluster mentioned anywhere in Ipswitch's "new" product and their solution to load balance.

Looks to me like you are calling it with crap. Might wrap it in a .cmd file that logs (echo %* >> logfilename) the parameters and then calls adduser. Maybe your source is to blame, not the sink.

I also tested versions of 8.x and it definately broke at 8.1 I tried using a version from 7.x and 8.x but I believe the registry paths changed so it doesnt work with versions 8.1+ It amazes me that adduser.exe and isplcln.exe were broke in the 8.1 and if they were aware of it how hard could it possibly be to fix what ever changed... I spent hours today deleting over 10,000 bad registry entries that have been piling up since i upgraded to 8.1 in the spring. My nightly Imail reg backups dropped an average of 2MB in size, one dropped over 4MB in size. sigh. I have yet to get a response.
