Adding an administrator in another state

[Guest]

I received a small job today to add a user to the administrators group on a
PC in another state. Usually what I do is use the computer management
command and then, managed a different machine, just add the user to the admin
group. (I forgot to mention I am in that group)
My question, is there a faster way such as a dos command that would add a
user to another machine?
Someone told me to look into ntuser.exe however I find that to be a virus.
I am looking for a shortcut to quickly add a user to the admin group at a
remote machine.

I believe you can do that with the Resource Kit tool cusrmgr as explained in
the first link below. You also could try using psexec from
SysInternals/Microsoft and the net localgroup administrators user /add
command.
