Found the following on Microsoft's website,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306271, but it only seems to work when
creating an account on a workstation.  I am new to VB.NET (2005).

TIA!

Examples of both would be great, but locally is what I am looking for.

Then I don't understand. The MS example should work for you locally.

THe following is my code which doesn't work:

    Sub Main()
        Dim AD As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" +
Environment.MachineName + ",computer")
        Dim grp As DirectoryEntry

        grp = AD.Children.Find("Administrators", "group")

        If grp.Name <> "" Then
            Console.WriteLine("Going to add to group")
        Else
            Console.WriteLine("Group does not exist")
        End If
    End Sub

Debugging says:  System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException was
unhandled

Thanks for working with me!

Dump just meant that I am trying to keep the post alive, hoping someone
else may see it.
It's erroring out at grp.Invoke("Add", New Object()
{"<domain>\<user>"})

Figured it out.  Should be:

        Dim StrUserEntry As String
        StrUserEntry = "WinNT://<domain>/<server>/<userid>"

        Dim group As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" +
Environment.MachineName + "/Administrators,group")

        group.Invoke("Add", New Object() {StrUserEntry})
        group.CommitChanges()

How I can find out on which platform I am running (32/64 bits)?
Why not use DAO?
