You can create a new local user using the New-LocalUser cmdlet. For example, to create a new user named Optimus, enter the following commands:. Resetting a user password is a little more involved. To do this requires three steps. You use the Add-LocalGroupMember cmdlet to add members to a local group. For example, to add the Optimus account that was created in the last example to the local Administrators group, run the command:. You can use the same command to add domain accounts to local groups.
For example, to add the Maximus account from the Contoso domain to the local Administrators group, run the command:. You can also use the same command to add domain groups to a local group. For example, to add the ITOps group from the Contoso domain to the local Administrators group, run the command:. You can remove users or groups from a local group using the Remove-LocalGroupMember cmdlet. For example, to remove the Optimus account from the local Administrators group, run the command:. You can find out more about the cmdlets that you use to manage local users and groups, including how to add and remove local groups as well as remove local user accounts in the following Docs article: PowerShell Local Accounts.

Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. I am trying to check computer group membership through Powershell. I want to be able to specify a certain computer name and find which groups that computer is in but from a Powershell script.
I am planning on running the script on a computer, grabbing the hostname, and then printing out what AD groups that computer is in. Is there an easy way to do this? EDIT: So the plan here is to have a computer check to see what groups it is in, then assign a printer based on which group it is in.
We have many printers that only 3 to 4 people use but due to the spread out nature of the users cannot downsize the amount of printers. I was looking at group policy but did not want to create 20 different GPOs. I'm not sure if this is doable or feasible. Edit 2: This edit it really late to the party but I figured if anyone found this it could help. We made an account in AD for each group of users needing access to the printers. This worked although it did create a long logon process for the first logon of the computer.
We also enabled Point-to-Print restrictions so the drivers were loaded from the servers quietly. This will give you the group membership group names of the local computer requires powershell 2. Apologies if I'm a bit late to the party on this but I needed to find a computer's group membership as well.
After a lot of trial and error, this worked for me. Not sure but I imagine that testing the computer might be faster and easier than testing the group depending on the number of members. Querying AD is not accurate since the computer may have been added to groups but not rebooted. I am sure someone could condense this but it worked well enough for what I needed to see. Taking the computer out of Example Group doesn't affect the output of the above until the computer is rebooted.
