I am trying to create a second admin account for the entire network and I
enter the followign commands. (I am logged in as the other admin)

net user <username> <password> /add
net localgroup administrators <username> /add

To set the user as an administrator for the entire network i then type:
net group "domain admins" <username> /add

However i get the following error:
This command can be used only on a Windows Domain Controller

How do i solve this problem? Thanks

Am I missing something?
The error seems perfectly explicit:

This command cannot be used on the machine where you are.
Go to the domain controller machine and perform it.

Or, on the Domain Controller, use the GUI called
Active Directory Users and Computers rather than the command line.

It's also possible to remotely administer the domain, but let's keep this
simple...

You do have a domain, yes?
