Hm, I figured it out. You have a bug in your script... I changed it:

$comp = [adsi] "WinNT://$computer"

$newuser = $comp.Create("User", $user)

$newuser.SetPassword($password)

$newuser.SetInfo()

You were setting $user = $comp.Create("user",$user). I changed the target to $newuser.

The second part of your script I'm still trying to figure out... not sure what it does, exactly, and it is still throwing an error.

$objUser = [ADSI]("WinNT://$computer/$user,user")

$objGroup = [ADSI]("WinNT://$computer/Administrators,group")

$objGroup.PSBase.Invoke("Add",$User.PSBase.Path)

Hey, Scripting guy... no matter how many times I try your examples or ones like it (for creating users), I always get the same error. It's the same exception calling with 2 arguments problem, and copying and pasting your code verbatim simply never works. Am I missing some key bit?

If it matters, I'm on W7.
