The "Create Local Users and Do Other Stuff Too" script

This script does a lot in one fowl swoop.

1. It creates a new local user on the machine, unless the user already exists of course
2. Renames the local 'Administrator' account to another name
3. Changes the renamed 'Administrator' account's password
4. Creates a file in 'c:\windows' so the script won't run on the next startup
5. Adds a domain group to a local computer group

You can change the names/passwords accordingly. I put the things that need to be changed in italics. It works well in a .vbs script and used as a startup GPO to deploy it. The script will check for the file it created in c:\windows, if it doesn't find it, it won't run.
