you could try right-clicking on a similar user, select copy, this will bring up a new account with identical permissions. Once you are done putting in the personal info for test2, reopen to make adjustments to this account's permissions.

Thanks not sure if that will help though - the server was restored from a backup a few months ago because the RAID array failed - there was no temp RID Master domain controller used just restored the server and restarted it....
