PowerShell: Create Local User Account

Question

I need to create a new local user account, and then add them to the local Administrators group. Can this be done in PowerShell?

EDIT:

Answer 1

Another alternative is the old school NET USER commands:

NET USER username "password" /ADD

OK - you can't set all the options but it's a lot less convoluted for simple user creation & easy to script up in Powershell.

NET LOCALGROUP "group" "user" /add to set group membership.
