Here is how to add a local or domain user to a local workstation group such as "Remote Desktop Users"

My example package is for adding an active directory or domain user but you can add a local workstation user by not prefixing the "domain\". However, in order to add a domain user the system must be attached to the network at the time of WPKG running otherwise you will get the following error: System error 1789 has occurred. The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.
