Anyone have a powershell line to create a new admin account

This one seems like it was written this decade over the other one I linked.

Within a powershell script
cmd.exe /c "net user adminuser password /add" cmd.exe /c "net localgroup administrators adminuser /add" cmd.exe /c "wmic path Win32_UserAccount where Name='adminuser' set PasswordExpires=false" #To remove Users group from adminuser and only have Administrators cmd.exe /c "net localgroup users adminuser /del" -

I have a handful of Windows 7 machiens not on a domain.
I want to put a new Admin account on them.
The current user accounts have admin rights, which I will remove, I have ScreenConnect installed and running with admin perms. So I can pop a powershell via the ScreenConnect command window easily to do this.
AD? New-ADuser or so. On the road ATM, can check later

not tested... maybe this thread can help with PS 2.0. Quoting code here:
# Create new local Admin user for script purposes $Computer = [ADSI]"WinNT://$Env:COMPUTERNAME,Computer" $LocalAdmin = $Computer.Create("User", "LocalAdmin") $LocalAdmin.SetPassword("Password01") $LocalAdmin.SetInfo() $LocalAdmin.FullName = "Local Admin by Powershell" $LocalAdmin.SetInfo() $LocalAdmin.UserFlags = 64 + 65536 # ADS_UF_PASSWD_CANT_CHANGE + ADS_UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD $LocalAdmin.SetInfo()
