dsadd failed:'-pwd' is an unknown parameter.

It could be that you have some formatting issues with your -. Retype the command in notepad, do not copy and paste from your original. The only thing I can think of is you used MSWord to type out the command and auto-format hot ahold of it and dsadd can no longer understand it.
Also, your quotes are still in the wrong place on your group membership add.
The best bet is to use powershell for this the of thing as I stated in my earlier post. Much more powerful and can be scripted a little easier.

It works in PS, but I am asked for password.
PS C:\> New-ADUser -name "Maggi Soffa" -displayname "Maggi Soffa" -SamAccountNam
e Magnus -UserPrincipalName Magnus -GivenName "Maggi" -Surname Soffa -StreetAddr
ess "Hlíðarveg 8" -City Grundarfjörður -State Eyrarsveit -PostalCode 350 -Accoun
tPassword (Read-Host -AsSecureString "AccountPassword") -Enabled $true -Path "ou
=PPP Users,dc=tsc,dc=local"
AccountPassword: *******
And do you know if I can also add the static ip address for DialIn ?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
"ou=PPP Users,dc=tsc,dc=local"
"cn=PPP Notendur,ou=PPP Groups"
Also you can use AD powershell for this:
New-ADUser -name "Maggi Soffa" -displayname "Maggi Soffa" -SamAccountName Magnus -UserPrincipalName Magnus -GivenName "Maggi" -Surname Soffa -StreetAddress "<Your_Street_Address>" -City <Your_City> -State <Your_State> -PostalCode <Your_PostalCode> -AccountPassword (Read-Host -AsSecureString "AccountPassword") -Enabled $true -Path "ou=PPP Users,dc=tsc,dc=local"
This will prompt you for the password. Whether you use a successful password or not the account will still get created. Though if the password is not given or is not a good password per your policy then the account will be there it will just be disabled.
