DOS Batch file command - inserting data
I need to have a batch file run that will add a user to a specific local group. I know the cvommand line is
net localgroup "Groupname" "username" \add.
However, I need to allow the user to add him or herself into the "username" area when the batch file runs.
This should be in a DOS command manner, or a script that can be called up when the batch file runs.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance.

1. Have the user specify the user name on the command line - MYBATCH USERNAME
Then in the batch file, in place of username, use %1
2. Have the batch file prompt the user for the username -
SET /P Useraccount=Please Enter your username:
Then reference %Useraccount%
3. Use the username automatically.
net localgroup "Groupname" "%username%"
