net user

[yepiknowiam]

I am trying to add a new user on the local workstation (not domain user) with
net user. I'm able to create the user fine with the following command:

net user localuser {password} /add /expires:never /passwordchg:no

It places the user into the "users" account. Is there a way I can speficy
it to go to the powerusers group instead? If I need a separate batch file to
do, that's fine.

I was wondering if the net localgroup would work or if that is only for
domain groups and users.

Thanks.

Follow it with:

net localgroup "power users" localuser /add
net localgroup users localuser /delete

In such cases the trick is to use the help built into net.exe, eg. like so:
net help
net localgroup /?
net help localgroup
There is a lot of help built into net.exe!
