The account tab of the user properties window allows you to configure the user account specific details such as the name with which he can log on, the machines in the network he can log on to, account access durations in weekdays or hours ,password configurations , account expiry dates etc.
The name fields in the account tab (User logon name and pre-windows 2000 name) are very important as they make up the user credentials, the account options also have to be carefully configured to ensure the security of the network resources and the account itself.
