Some Functions I wrote for this... they all use WinNT instead of LDAP so you
can run locally.
function add-User{
Param([string]$user,[string]$password,[string]$server)
If(!($server)){$server = get-content env:COMPUTERNAME}
$tUser = [ADSI]("WinNT://$server,computer")
$newuser = $tUser.psbase.children.add("$user","user")
$newuser.psbase.invoke("SetPassword",$password)
$newuser.psbase.CommitChanges()
}
function add-AdminUser{
Param([string]$user,[string]$password,[string]$server)
If(!($server)){$server = get-content env:COMPUTERNAME}
$tUser = [ADSI]("WinNT://$server,computer")
$newuser = $tUser.psbase.children.add("$user","user")
$newuser.psbase.invoke("SetPassword",$password)
$newuser.psbase.CommitChanges()
$ary = @()
$ary += $newuser.psbase.path
# Getting Group and Adding User
$g = [ADSI]("WinNT://$server/Administrators,group")
$g.psbase.invoke("add",$ary)
}
function add-UsertoGroup{
Param([string]$user,[string]$group,[string]$server)
If(!($server)){$server = get-content env:COMPUTERNAME}
Write-Host ""
Write-Host "Adding User [$user] to group [$group]"
Write-Host

$ary = @()
$srv = [ADSI]("WinNT://$server,computer")
$u = [ADSI]("WinNT://$server/$User,User")
$ary += $u.psbase.path
# Getting Group and Adding User
$g = [ADSI]("WinNT://$server/$group,group")
$g.psbase.invoke("add",$ary)
