Hi everybody,

Im trying to create a batch file which will add a
Group into my computers "Administrators" local group.

The group is called "Domain Techs" & each belong to 3
different Domains which can access each other with no
problem.

I have gone through technet
article "http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=251394"
however im not having much luck.


In the past I've being able to write a batch file which
created a local account & added that account into
the "administrators" local account but Im not having much
luck with this excercie......any help would be highly
appreciated.

thankyou in advance.

What is error message/number do you receive?

Hi Davie,


Ok well I've made some progress, basically i figured
that the command will be as follows

net localgroup "administrators" domain\groupname.

So on a workstation called "xp1" which is part of the
domain called "LabdomainA" i was able to add a group i
created in that domain called "TEST" into
the "Administrators" local built in group of "xp1" via the
net localgroup as,

net localgroup "administrators" LabdomainA\Test /add

& it worked ..the group called "Test" which was created in
the "LabDomainA" is now added into the
Local "administrators" group of workstation
called "XP1" ..sorry if i sound like im repeating myself..

the probleme im having is when i try to add the "Domain
Techs" group from the same domain i get the following error

"There is no such global user or group: LabdomainA\domain
There is no such global user or group: Techs

More help is available by typing Net Helpmsg3783"

however it's not providing me with the adequate info to
get it working ?

any idea were i may be going wrong ?

thank for your reply.

Can you believe 1 minute after i finished replying to you
i found my answer "I hope" - basicall i used the following

net localgroup administrators "LabdomainA\Domain
Techs" /add

& it worked...so all along i just had to place
the "labdomainA\domain techs" in inverted comas & the
command worked...

sorry to have wasted any of your time....btw the url were
i found the solution was

http://cwashington.netreach.net/depo/view.asp?
Index=361&ScriptType=command

Im going to test it out @ work as i've tested it out in a
Vmware lab enviroment
I'll let you know how it goes

Martie.

Anytime a space exists in a name, it must be enclosed in quote marks.
You can also use quote marks all the time, so a batch with unknown group names
always works.
