Net User /add batch file
Hello
is it possible to use net user to create a user account on another computer in a workgroup?
ex. run net user /add from station 1 to create a user on station2 via a batch file.

If you do not need to create a bunch of users, try using "Computer management". You can connect to any computer in domain and add groups and users
But if you still need scripting tools than take a look at ADDuser tool from MS

I need to create the same user on multiple machines in a workgroup environement.
than use adduser tool I mentioned in previous link. You can create file with user attributes and create that user on remote machine
C:\>AddUsers [\\computername] /c c:\Users.txt /p:e
C:\>AddUsers [\\computername] /c c:\Users.txt /p:e

Than Create a comma-delimited text file, which contains the new users and groups to be created. Syntax is section-specific for each entry (line) in the different sections, as follows:
[Users]
User Name,Full name, Password, Description, HomeDrive, Homepath, Profile, Script
[Global]
Global Group Name, Comment, UserName, ...
[Local]
Local Group Name, Comment>, UserName, ...
The entries (lines) in the [Local] and [Global] group sections can have 0 or more UserName entries after the comment field. Each user name is added to that group. Lines must end with a comma (or the appropriate separator character). Here is the example from the Resource Kit Tools Help file for AddUsers.exe:
[User]
jimmy,James Edward Phillip II,,,,,,
alex,Alex Denuur,,,E:\,E:\users\alex ,,
ron,Ron Jarook,hello,,E:\,E:\users \ron,,
sarah,Sarah Selly,,,,,,
mike,Mike Olarte,,,,,,
[Global]
TestTeam,Regression,ron,al ex,
DevTeam,Conversion to Sources,mike,sarah,jimmy,
[Local]
UsersAM,Users A through M,alex,jimmy,mike,
UsersNZ,Users N through Z,ron,sarah
Creating the users (and groups) can be performed through a batch file or at the command line. The following command creates the users and groups listed in a text file called Users.txt. The "/p" switch creates the users with the Passwords Never Expire option enabled:
C:\>AddUsers [\\computername] /c c:\Users.txt /p:e
Once you crated users.txt file just use this command to and change computername. You can create batch file. You yust copy,paste&change computername
@Echo off
cd %path_to_addusers.exe_file %
AddUsers \\computer1 /c c:\Users.txt /p:e
AddUsers \\computer2 /c c:\Users.txt /p:e
%path_to_addusers.exe_file % is directory where you extract addusers.exe
