The Power of net group (a.k.a. net groups)
This command is used to manage groups in Windows domains.
e.g. net group __groupname__ /add
will add the __groupname__ to the domain.
Without parameters, it displays the name of a server and the names of groups on that server.
The Limitation of net groups
However, one should be careful. This command is only used for global groups; there is a corresponding command, net localgroup, for local groups. Note the singular, localgroup, not localgroups.
The nice thing about net localgroup is you don't need to be on a domain controller for this to work. You can run this command on any Windows PC. Some familiar local groups include Administrators and Event Log Readers.
