      New-LocalUser -Name "SpongeBob" -Description "Badass Admin"
      Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators" -Member "SpongeBob"
      

      New-LocalUser
      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.localaccounts/new-localuser?view=powershell-5.1

      Add-LocalGroupMember
      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.localaccounts/add-localgroupmember?view=powershell-5.1

      Windows Management Framework 5.1 needs to be installed on Windows 7.

      You can find out the current version on Windows 7 with this command in PowerShell.
      $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

        Or if you use SaltStack:

            SaltStack makes management extremely easier

              I have a handful of Windows 7 machiens not on a domain.

              I want to put a new Admin account on them.

              The current user accounts have admin rights, which I will remove, I have ScreenConnect installed and running with admin perms. So I can pop a powershell via the ScreenConnect command window easily to do this.

              AD? New-ADuser or so. On the road ATM, can check later

                      @jaredbusch Looks like SaltStack is the way to go. PSTools makes it easy too if you need a quick n easy.

                          run each command from SC.. not as fast as one click.. but still not bad.

                            not tested... maybe this thread can help with PS 2.0. Quoting code here:

                            # Create new local Admin user for script purposes
                            $Computer = [ADSI]"WinNT://$Env:COMPUTERNAME,Computer"
                            
                            $LocalAdmin = $Computer.Create("User", "LocalAdmin")
                            $LocalAdmin.SetPassword("Password01")
                            $LocalAdmin.SetInfo()
                            $LocalAdmin.FullName = "Local Admin by Powershell"
                            $LocalAdmin.SetInfo()
                            $LocalAdmin.UserFlags = 64 + 65536 # ADS_UF_PASSWD_CANT_CHANGE + ADS_UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD
                            $LocalAdmin.SetInfo()
