Windows user management tools in PowerShell - works on all Windows editions including Home

users.ps1

A GUI tool for managing local Windows user accounts. Unlike built-in Windows tools, this script uses net commands that work on Windows Home Edition where PowerShell's LocalAccounts module is unavailable.

Features

  • Create users with optional password
  • Add users to groups (Windows Home compatible!)
  • Create user + add to group in one click
  • Remove users with confirmation dialog
  • Enable/Disable users
  • Remove users from groups
  • List all local users
  • List group members
  • Dynamic group dropdown - automatically detects all local groups

│ [Rmv Grp]  [List Users]  [List Members] │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

Requirements

  • Windows (any edition including Home)
  • PowerShell
  • Run as Administrator

Usage

# Right-click and "Run with PowerShell" as Administrator
# Or from PowerShell:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File users.ps1

Why This Tool?

Windows Home Edition lacks the Microsoft.PowerShell.LocalAccounts module, making commands like Add-LocalGroupMember unavailable. This tool uses net user and net localgroup commands which work on all Windows editions.
