Well, my command line reads *net localgroup "Test" DOMAIN\DC1$ /add /domain
*Result *The request will be processed at a domain controller for domain DOMAIN. The command completed successfully.* The domain local group checked in ADUC shows the computer account as a member, when it wasn't before. This is using a Windows 2008 R2 domain, although I can't see it working any differently at lower functional levels. If this isn't working for you, I have no further ideas. I am running mine from a workstation with the Remote Admin Tools installed.
