Question
-
I try the following command to add a domain user into local Administrators group of my Windows 7 computer and my computer has already joined domain.
net localgroup administrators mydomain.local\user1 /add /domain
It returns successful added, but I don’t find it in the local Administrators group.
How can I do it?
Thanks,
Joe.

Because you are using the /domain parameter you are executing the command on the PDC instead of on the local computer. Try this command:
net localgroup administrators mydomain.local\user1 /add
