How to add Windows users at the command line

net user $USERNAME $PASSWORD /add
net localgroup Administrators $USER /add
net localgroup "Remote Desktop Users" $USER /add
reg add `
    "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" `
    /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

This requires SYSTEM privileges or a (local) administrator account.

It’s worth noting that users added via net user seem to bypass Windows’ password policies…
