Thank you so much, this was exactly what I needed. I needed to perform some changes in different machines and needed to be login off and adding myself manually all the time. It is OK for 3 to 5 PC’s but not for 100. This script has made my life so much easier and I had to take the time to at least say THANK YOU.

is there a way to use this script (or some version of it) to add a domain account to the local administrators group on a group of computers?

Would I have to make an entry for each computer that I need to modify or could I have the script call a list of computer names?

So I can just put the above code in my logon.cmd logon script and it should work?

Or do I need it to be in a vbs script or something else?

But what if I've just joined the domain but am not logged into the domain? Can the WinNT provider pass login credentials?

Note that using the group name "Administrators" will only work on English Windows. This is a localized group name so it will have different names on systems with different languages. You have to get the well-known-sid for the administrators group first and then determine what group name that translates to before you can add users to it. It's stupid to have localized group and user account names if you ask me.
