WMI script create user for Windows 7
Hi all,
I am writing a script using WMI to create a user, set the password and then move it in to the Users Group.
The script is below, I am using it in a sub routine as well.
Is there a way I can use the strComputer without putting in a hardcoded name. I did use "." but didnt work.
Could someone who knows WMI take a look and see what I can improve please.
dim strComputer, strUser, objWMI, objUser, objLocalUser, objLocalUsers, objComputer, objGroup
strComputer = "USER-PC"
Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _
strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
'Rename Admin Account
Set colAccounts = objWMI.ExecQuery ("Select * From Win32_UserAccount Where LocalAccount = True And Name = 'Admin'")
For Each objAccount in colAccounts
objAccount.Rename "lcladmin"
Next
wscript.echo "Adminstrator account renamed!"
'Create New Local User Account
Set objComputer = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "")
Set objLocalUser = objComputer.Create("user", "Testuser")
WScript.Echo "Testuseruser created!"
objLocalUser.SetPassword "Summer99"
'WScript.Echo "Testuser user password set!"
objLocalUser.SetInfo
Set objGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Users,group")
wscript.echo objGroup.ADspath
set objLocalUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/" & "Testuser" & ",User")
wscript.echo objlocaluser.ADsPath
objGroup.Add "WinNT://" & strComputer & "/" & "Testuser"
objLocalUser.AccountDisabled = False
objLocalUser.SetInfo
WScript.Echo "Local user created!"

Could someone who knows WMII asked my good friend George Osborne Ogle. He was able to come up with a number of code samples, the neatest of which is probably this.
Your code - like so much I see - has zero error-trapping. The Golden Rule of programming - and this qualifies as that - is to always, ALWAYS assume that nothing will work. You should then code accordingly. For example, change
Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")toSet objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
If Not IsObject(objWMI) Then
'// Display an error here, then exit
End Ifand so on.

Fixed it now and added another section to get the computers name. Cheers VBScab. Haha on the George Osborne Ogle but was on a time frame and the searching I was doing at the time wasnt bring up what I was after.
