How to configure Users permissions in Windows Server 2008 R2 by command line

command-line-interfaceuser-accountswindows-server-2008

I have to create about 800 users in our Windows S 2008 R2 and I'd like to make a few settings with them.

Create user: net user Joe 1mb4pASs /add /fullname:"John Smith" /passwordchg:no /comment:"no comment"
Set never expired password: wmic useraccount where "Name='Joe'" set PasswordExpires=FALSE
Add the user to two groups (like in the Members Of tab in the GUI)
- Remote Desktop Users
- (I translated it from hungarian, because the server) Terminal Services - Computers to enable the use of applications via webaccess

Step 3 is where I'm having problems. What command(s) should I use for this?

Best Answer

You can do this with net.exe in a very similar way to what you're currently doing:

net localgroup "Remote Desktop Users" /add domain\Joe

You probably don't want to add users to the Terminal Services Computers group, though. That's used for Remote Desktop Services licensing when you have the GPO to enforce licensing based on group enabled.
