script to add users to groups.

[parker309]

Below is the script I am using to try and add a domain user to the local administrator group on about fifty workstations. Unfortunately since the local user is the only one in the local admin group I do not "technically" have permission to add a domain user. This script works when run locally but I want to run it in a loop to all fifty machines over the network. Is there a way to embed a username and password into the script? Thanks.


'this is domain group name in general, adminstrators in particular
sdomgrp= Chr(34)& "cuzone\local admin machine" & Chr(34) '<<<input domain group name
sdomgrp= """cuzone\local admin users"""

'these 2 variables varying host to host
slocgrp="administrators" '<<<input local group name
slochost="mis133" '<<<input local machine name

scmd="net localgroup " & slocgrp & " " & sdomgrp & " /add"

set svcproc=getobject("winmgmts:\\" & slochost & "\root\cimv2:win32_process")
iret=svcproc.create(scmd,nul,nul,pid)
if iret=0 then
wscript.echo "net localgroup successfully launched on " & slochost
else
wscript.echo "net localgroup failed to launched on " & slochost
end if
set svcproc=nothing

Hello parker309,

To bind to the remote using alternative credential, you have to make a detour using swbemlocator then connectserver.
[tt]
suser="cuzone\jsmith"
spwd="xxxxxxxx"
slochost="mis133"

set oloc=createobject("wbemscripting.swbemlocator")
set svc=oloc.connectserver(slochost,"root\cimv2",suser,spwd)
set svcproc=svc.get("win32_process")
[/tt]
There may be more parameters you want to set, check the documentation on the swbemlocator. Those parameters shown above are just for illustration, you have to make them good.

regards - tsuji
ps. The code you listed, nul is a typo for null. But, it doesn't that matter.
