        Windows Management Framework 5.1 needs to be installed on Windows 7.

        You can find out the current version on Windows 7 with this command in PowerShell.
        $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

          Or if you use SaltStack:

              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()
