Substitute for net localgroup

[Darien]

Hi,

 

I can not use the net localgroup command with names longer than 20 characters due to this limitation:

 

https://support.microsoft.com/pt-br/help/324639/net-exe-add-command-does-not-support-names-longer-than-20-characters

 

Would there be a script that would replace net localgroup?

You can always go the old WinNT route, works on Win7 and Win10:

Local $oGroup = ObjGet("WinNT://" & @ComputerName & "/Administrators")
    If IsObj($oGroup) Then
        $oGroup.Add("WinNT://" & @ComputerName & "/MyReallyCoolSuperLongYoureNotGoingToBelieveHowAwesomeThisGroupIs Group")
    Else
        ConsoleWrite("Could not obtain object." & @CRLF)
    EndIf

JLogan3o13,

 

Sorry for my ignorance, but what does the above script do? I performed it and saw no result whatsoever.

How could I replace the commands below?

 

net localgroup <local group> /add <domain\domain group>

net localgroup <local group> /delete <domain\domain group>

Make sure you add #RequireAdmin to the top of the script otherwise it will error, but basically it will add a user to the local group another example, adding "Authenticated Users" to "Power Users" group.

#RequireAdmin
Local $oGroup = ObjGet("WinNT://" & @ComputerName & "/Power Users")
If IsObj($oGroup) Then
    $oGroup.Add("WinNT://" & @ComputerName & "/Authenticated Users")
Else
    ConsoleWrite("Could not obtain object." & @CRLF)
EndIf

Subz,

 

I ran the above script to add the domain group "TRT2R\RDP" to the local group "Administradores", but I got the error below:

 

 

But by the net localgroup I can do the same action.:

It should have been:

#RequireAdmin
Local $oGroup = ObjGet("WinNT://" & @ComputerName & "/Administradores")
If IsObj($oGroup) Then
    $oGroup.Add("WinNT://TRT2R/RDP")
Else
    ConsoleWrite("Could not obtain object." & @CRLF)
EndIf

Now it worked. But how do I prevent the script from being aborted when an error occurs (if the group is already added or not able to communicate with the domain server, for example)?

[JLogan3o13]

We call it Error Checking. Look at @error in the help file, or search on the forum.

OK. And to remove a group, how do I do?

[JLogan3o13]

Well, if to add it you need to do

$oGroup.Add

What might you think you would need to do to remove?

This forum is dedicated to helping, not spoon-feeding it to you; you have to show at least some level of effort.

I tried with del, delete and remove and it did not work.

Have a look at the Local Account UDF.  Look through the thread for additional functions.
