IMO, the simplest (and oldest way) to add a user is with NetUserAdd(). For
groups, check the docs for NetGroupAdd() and NetLoclGroupAdd().

You might also want to read up on ActiveDirectory

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adsi/adsi/activ
e_directory_service_interfaces_adsi.asp

which is scriptable as well as programmable.

Regards,
Will
