I am wanting to add a local user to a local group and I have been unable
to find any examples of this. There is no shortage of examples for
Active Directory but nothing relating to local groups.
From what I can work out the code should be something like
group = System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" +
System.Environment.MachineName + "/testgroup")
group.Properties["member"].Add("testuser")
This fails with "EnvironmentError: The directory property cannot be
found in the cache." the first time then "EnvironmentError: Exception
from HRESULT: 0x8000500F"
For AD groups the code is,
group = System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" +
System.Environment.MachineName + "/testgroup")
user = System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" +
System.Environment.MachineName + "/testuser")
group.Properties["member"].Add(user.Properties["distinguishedName"].Value)
But with local users there is no distinguishedName property.
Any ideas?
Iain.
