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

Try using Carbon's Install-User and Add-GroupMember functions:

Install-User -Username "User" -Description "LocalAdmin" -FullName "Local Admin by Powershell" -Password "Password01"
Add-GroupMember -Name 'Administrators' -Member 'User'
