The quick solution is to use `net localgroup`, but that won't accept user/group names longer than 24 characters. This means you have to use the .NET Directory Services APIs. How do you reliably add both users *and* groups? What if those users are in a domain? What if they're in another domain? What about built-in users? Fortunately, you're brain hasn't exploded. So, this function adds users and groups to a *local* group. If the members are already part of the group, nothing happens. .EXAMPLE Add-GroupMember -Name Administrators -Member EMPIRE\DarthVader,EMPIRE\EmperorPalpatine,REBELS\LSkywalker Adds Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine and Luke Skywalker to the local administrators group. .EXAMPLE Add-GroupMember -Name TieFighters -Member NetworkService Adds the local NetworkService account to the local TieFighters group. #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess=$true)] param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] # The group name. $Name, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string[]] # The users/groups to add to a group.
