Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Chances are Shawn will beat me to it.

you can use following code to create groups on PCs

code:

---

  
;Create Group
$oComputer=GetObject("WinNT://Computername,computer") ;Replace the computername with your real pc name 
$oGroup=$oComputer.Create("group","Groupname")
$oGroup.Put("grouptype",4) ;2=global(in domain) and 4=lokal
$oGroup.setinfo
;Add Users
$oGroup.add("WinNT://Domain/Username")

;show group members
for each $e in $oGroup.members
 ? $e.name
next

---

I hope it helps

I have Tried and tried, but get the same error:

Script error : unknown command !
$Group=$Computer.Create("group",$LocalGrp)

Here is the code:

code:

---

$ComputerName = ReadLine(1)
?"Enter Local Group to create on each Machine: " Gets $LocalGrp
;********* Do Stuff to each Machine in list ***********
Do
;Create Group
$Computer=GetObject("WinNT://$Domain/$ComputerName,computer") ;Replace the computername with $CompuerName from clist.dat 
;Info For Testing
?"Machine: " + $ComputerName
?"New group: " + $LocalGrp
?""
$Group=$Computer.Create("group",$LocalGrp)
$Group.Put("grouptype",4) ;2=global(in domain) and 4=local
;Add Users
$Group.add("WinNT://$Domain/CSUP-Local")
$Group.setinfo
;show group members
For Each $e in $oGroup.members
 ? $e.name
Next

I hope this comes out right, it is my first time attempting to post code to this board.

Mike

this line is the problem.

$Computer=GetObject("WinNT://$Domain/$ComputerName,computer")

what is happening is the variable $computer is not being assigned to a com object, so when you try $computer.create you get an error.

change that line to this.

$Computer=GetObject("WinNT://$Domain/$ComputerName","computer")

And always check to make sure that the com object was loaded right.

code:

---

if valtype($computer) <> 9
   ? "warning!! unable to load COM object!!"
   exit(1)
endif
