Remotely adding users to groups

G

Guest

I run a small wireless network made up of XP Pro computers.
By means of the "Computer Management" console, I can add and remove users
and groups on another computer on the network.
There seems to be no way, however, of inserting users in groups; when I try
to do it and click the "Check Names" button, the console says that the name
cannot be found, although the user I am trying to insert appears in the list
generated by the same console.
Any suggestion?
Is there a way to perform this task at the command line prompt?
Thanks in advance.

Open up the group you require and and click "add user", click the location
button and choose the computer you are connected to otherwise it will be
looing for a user within Active Directory.

Thank you!
Before receiving your answer, I managed to accomplish the task, the secret
apparently being that the active session on the target computer must belong
to a login which is different from that under which I am working, both logins
having of course administrator's priviliges.
Any idea about doing the same thing via a script?
