Create local user accounts

1

Hello Guys,

I need to create local user account with admin rights in windows through Bigfix action.

I tried

dos net user /add red red@123
and
waithidden cmd.exe /C net user /add red red@123

but failed. Please help

C:\Users\jason>net user /?
The syntax of this command is:

NET USER
[username [password | *] [options]] [/DOMAIN]
         username {password | *} /ADD [options] [/DOMAIN]
         username [/DELETE] [/DOMAIN]
         username [/TIMES:{times | ALL}]

I don’t expect an issue with x32 vs amd64 net.exe, but just in case you might want to avoid redirection also. Try

action uses wow64 redirection false
waithidden net user red red@123 /add
waithidden net localgroup administrators red /add

If any of those statements fail, check the return code & try it on a normal command line. In particular check that the password your choosing matches your complexity requirements, and that the user does not already exist.

Also, just be aware that any of your fixlet content is accessible to all clients (indeed, even to non-clients); so you won’t want to embed passwords in your fixlet. Check http://bigfix.me for info on how to use Secure Parameters to prevent a clear-text password from being downloadable.

Which line fails? Could be several different problems.
