Its no bother

Sometimes I assume to much. To be clear these are functions not a scripts.

If you type <. $pwd\user.ps1> this will load the function into your current
scope.
You can then reference the functions accordingly. Here are some examples:

To Add a User. The . is very important
PS> . $pwd\User.ps1
PS> add-User -User Jdoe -Password MyPassword -Server Server1

To Add to a group
PS> add-UsertoGroup -user jdoe -group administrators
