How to add members to the Administrators group with Powershell

Question: I want to create a Powershell script to add an  Active Directory Group to the the local Administrator Group on a group of servers.  The login privileges to execute the script would be Administrator. 

What is the Powershell command to add the group along with an example

Answer:  Powershell has a group of cmdlets designed to manage membership of local groups.    The first one to check is the cmdlet returning the current membership of the Local Administrators group

--Get-LocalGroupMember returns members from a local group. This example is using the Administrators group

    Get-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators"

-- Add-LocalGroupMember  will add members to a local group

Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators" -Member "MYDOMAIN\myADGroup"

If the member already exists in the Local Administrators group  you will see a message similar to : 

Add-LocalGroupMember : MYDOMAIN\myADGroup is already a member of group Administrators.
