SUMMARY

User Manager for Domains does not allow administrators to generate a list of user accounts, and Net user /domain will only pull user accounts from the domain that the computer account is located in. You can generate a list of user accounts from domains (trusted) other than the domain your computer has an account in by using the Resource Kit utility addusers.exe.

MORE INFORMATION

With the command line 

   addusers \\servername /d filename.txt
(where servername is the name of the primary domain controller), administrators can generate a list of users in domains other than their own; this list is generated into a text file. This file will also contain information such as the profile, home directory, and scripts.
