First off, I am a college student taking an INTRODUCTORY windows 10 OS scripting class and need some help with creating a script.

I am to add a new user account so I know enough to use Net user %1 %2 / add whereby %1 is the username and @2 is the password

How do I prompt the user to add this information?

Also

I CANNOT USE IF STATEMENTS

Before adding the new account i need to see if the account exists so I was thinking of using Findstr perhaps

Does this make sense?

I need to provide messages stating the user account exists or does not exist as well.

Can you help me?
