title: How do you add an Active Directory user to SharePoint using WSS?
body: <p>Is it possible to introduce existing AD users into SharePoint using WSS?</p>
  
  <p>If I create a new list item manually, and there is a User / People Picker field in the list, if I type a username in the field and submit, SP finds the user and adds it in as a SP user.</p>
  
  <p>Why does that not work when adding new items through WSS? I cannot get WSS to recognize a user by username, email, or first name last name.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
