    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

    Just FYI, if you directly log in to Domain Controller, you can use 'net group' to manage groups in Active Directory.

    Syntax is the same with 'net localgroup'

    Have fun,
