Adding a domain user to the Administrator Group

[Matt-Page]

Is it possible to add a domain user to the administrator group via a command line/script? I can do it manually but as we are doing this on a mass basis it would be ideal if i could add this to a batch file / vbscript.

When i say administrator group i mean the administrator group you see in 'Computer Management'

I assume you mean local adminsitator group and not the domain builtin "Administrators" group.

If so have a look at the "net localgroup " command

If its that many, you should really add Domain groups to the local Admin group rather than adding multiple single users.

This 'may' be a good start not read through it all.

Is it possible to add a domain user to the administrator group

Is there a pressing reason to do this ?
it's not generally considered a safe idea to let users be local admin on their PC.
Especially anyone with the job title "Manager"
