add "Remote Desktop User" powershell

Hi @PerserPolis-1732 ,

maybe this works for you:

$user = New-LocalUser -AccountNeverExpires:$true -Password ( ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force 'testtest') -Name "Paul" -FullName "Paul" -Description "Local Administrator"  
Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators" -Member $user  
Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Remote Desktop Users" -Member $user

Hi Andreas,

the following script is working for me creating a local admin user. How can I add the "remote desktop User" too?

$UserLogon = Get-WinEvent -LogName 'Microsoft-Windows-User Profile Service/Operational' `
| Where-Object {$_.Id -eq 2} | Select-Object -First 1

$LastUser = Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\$($UserLogon.UserId.Value)" -Name "ProfileImagePath"
$substringIndex = $LastUser.ProfileImagePath.LastIndexOf("\") + 1
$LastUserName = $LastUser.ProfileImagePath.Substring($substringIndex)
$a=$LastUserName+"Admin"
New-LocalUser -AccountNeverExpires:$true -Password ( ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force 'password') -Name $a -FullName "Local Administrator" -Description "Local Administrator" | Add-LocalGroupMember -Group administrators

Regards
