I am using the batch file below, to add 30 domain USERS to the administrators
group of 30 machines. I would really like it though if I could make the batch
file read from a text file that will list the domain user names and the machine
names, instead of having to add these names in the batch file manually.

Help?

Thanks

Make two text FILES.  One with the Machine Name and one with the User Names.  Then you can use nested FOR LOOPS to parse the Machine Name Text file and User name text file.
Code: [Select]set machineuser=
set machinepass=
set domainfull=
set domainsmall=
FOR /f "TOKENS=*" %%M in (Machines.txt) do (
     FOR /f "tokens=* %%U in (usernames.txt) do (
          psexec \\%%M.%domainfull% -u %machineuser% -p %machinepass% net localgroup Administrators "%domainsmall%\%%U" /add
     )
)
       Thank you! I will try it today!
