Is it possible to add machine local users to a local group?

If yes, what distinguished name would I use?
e.g. if I wanted to add the user foo to the local group bar on the computer qux?

Thanks,
Klas

Hi Klas,

As the DirectoryEntry class is basically a wrapper over the top of ADSI you should be able to use the ADSI WinNT provider to bind to the local machine and add the user to the groups, rather than the LDAP provider.

This page shows you how to do it using ADSI, it shouldn't be too hard to translate this to DirectoryEntry usage.
