VBScript to add domain user to the computer’s RDC user list

Dear Experts:

I have a VBScript to add domain user to the computer’s RDC user list. See below.
Set objGroup = GetObject("WinNT://Win7-64-1.domain1.org/remote Desktop users,group")
Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://domain1.org/user1,user")
objGroup.Add (objUser.ADsPath)

When the user and computer in the same domain, it is fine.
When the user and computer in the different domains though there is two-way trust between the domains, it does not work. However, I can add it manually.

Set objGroup = GetObject("WinNT://Win7-64-1.domain1.org/remote Desktop users,group")
Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://domain2.org/user2,user")
objGroup.Add (objUser.ADsPath)

I am running on Windows AD server 2008 R2 environment.

Do you have any advices?
Thanks a lot!

Are you getting any kind of error message when it fails? The question is whether or not it can't find the domain, or whether or not it gets an access denied when accessing it...

Thanks for your reply. You are right. I need to get some message from there.

I added Err = objGroup.Add (objUser.ADsPath)
to get the Err = 1A8 (424) Do you any ideas for that?
Thanks!

I did a quick search and came up with this:

"A 424 error is a 'object required' error being thrown from within xyz.vbs."

So it sounds like it needs another parameter in order to work correctly.

Yeah, the error means that username dose not exist in the Active Directory.
But, I build the two-ways trust between the domains and I can add the user manually.
Is there any parameters that I can add on the "objGroup.Add (objUser.ADsPath)"?
I didn't find the syntax for that.
Another solution, is there the powershell script for that function?
Thanks,
