      Or if you use SaltStack:

      https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/modules/all/salt.modules.win_useradd.html

      Those commands looks so much easier to use.

        SaltStack makes management extremely easier

          I have a handful of Windows 7 machiens not on a domain.

          I want to put a new Admin account on them.

          The current user accounts have admin rights, which I will remove, I have ScreenConnect installed and running with admin perms. So I can pop a powershell via the ScreenConnect command window easily to do this.

          AD? New-ADuser or so. On the road ATM, can check later

                  @jaredbusch Looks like SaltStack is the way to go. PSTools makes it easy too if you need a quick n easy.

                      run each command from SC.. not as fast as one click.. but still not bad.

                        not tested... maybe this thread can help with PS 2.0. Quoting code here:

                        # Create new local Admin user for script purposes
                        $Computer = [ADSI]"WinNT://$Env:COMPUTERNAME,Computer"
                        
                        $LocalAdmin = $Computer.Create("User", "LocalAdmin")
                        $LocalAdmin.SetPassword("Password01")
                        $LocalAdmin.SetInfo()
                        $LocalAdmin.FullName = "Local Admin by Powershell"
                        $LocalAdmin.SetInfo()
                        $LocalAdmin.UserFlags = 64 + 65536 # ADS_UF_PASSWD_CANT_CHANGE + ADS_UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD
                        $LocalAdmin.SetInfo()
