Here is a piece of code that will create a local user account and put it into the local Administrators group:
$computername = $env:computername # place computername here for remote access $username = 'AdminAccount1' $password = 'topSecret@99' $desc = 'Automatically created local admin account' $computer = [ADSI]"WinNT://$computername,computer" $user = $computer.Create("user", $username) $user.SetPassword($password) $user.Setinfo() $user.description = $desc $user.setinfo() $user.UserFlags = 65536 $user.SetInfo() $group = [ADSI]("WinNT://$computername/administrators,group") $group.add("WinNT://$username,user")
You do need local Admin privileges to execute this script. Adjust the name of the "Administrators" group to match your locale. For example, on German systems, it is called "Administratoren".
