using Powershell to create a new local Windows user
Hello:
We have written a script to add a new local admin user to our systems we have in our LogMeIn portal
and it works to create the user, but once created the new user is still not able to be used to connect with LMI.
Not until we remote in with the old user and log out - then back in with the new user.
When we do that Windows sets up the new user and after that we can use LMI to access that system.
Has anyone found a way to avoid that step and to use LMI and a powershell
script to both create the user and also set that user up in Windows so that we can
avoid the manual step of having to first log in once as the new user
so that it then works in LMI ?
script:
$password1 = ConvertTo-SecureString “password1” -AsPlainText -Force
$password2 = ConvertTo-SecureString “password2” -AsPlainText -Force
if (Get-LocalUser -Name "user1")
{
Enable-LocalUser -Name "user1"
Set-LocalUser -Name "user1" -Description "User 1" -Password $password1
} else
{
New-LocalUser -Name "user1" -Description "User 1" -Password $password1
Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators" -Member "user1"
}
# New-LocalUser -Name "user2" -Description "User 2" -Password $password2
# Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators" -Member "user2"
