Windows 8 In Depth

Working with Users, Groups, and Shares

You can script your user and group chores by taking advantage of the NET USER and NET LOCALGROUP commands. These commands enable you to add users, change passwords, modify accounts, add users to groups, and remove users from groups. Note that you must run these commands under the Administrator account, so press Windows Logo+X, click Command Prompt (Admin), and then enter your User Account Control credentials.
