using net user multilanguage language

Question

I am setting up a bunch of computers, and for this i am using powershell.
To setup admin accounts, i have used the net command, but as I get some pc's with danish OS and some with english the commands differ slightly.

Danish version:
net localgroup Administratorer username /add

english version:
net localgroup Administrators username /add

This means i need two versions of the script. is it possible to take another aproach? perhaps using some ID to identify the admin group? like writing 3334 instead of administator

Answer 1

One solution could be to leverage the .NET framework (via Powershell) to retrieve the localized name of the administrators group. I find it better than hardcoding the SID of the administrators group, even though it never changes.

$adminGroupSid = [System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier]::new([System.Security.Principal.WellKnownSidType]::BuiltinAdministratorsSid,$null)
$adminGroupName = $adminGroupSid.Translate([System.Security.Principal.NTAccount]).ToString()
$adminsName = ($adminGroupName -split "\\")[1]

From then on, you can either use $adminsName when calling net localgroup

net localgroup $adminsname /add <user>

Answer 2

in case you want to run it as a package in SCCM without content folder

%windir%\Sysnative\windowsPowershell\V1.0\powershell -command "$an='AdminUser';$ap='password'; net user /add $an $ap; $agn = (gwmi -Class Win32_Group -Filter 'LocalAccount=True AND SID="""S-1-5-32-544"""').Name;net localgroup $agn $an /add"
