admin

net group [groupname [/comment:"text"]] [/domain]
net group [groupname {/add [/comment:"text"] | /delete} [/domain]]
net group [groupname username[ ...] {/add | /delete} [/domain]]

Parameters
groupname   : Specifies the name of the group to add, expand, or delete. Specify a group name to view a list of users in a group only.
/comment:" text "   : Adds a comment for a new or existing group. The comment can have as many as 48 characters. Enclose the text in quotation marks.
/domain   : Performs the operation on the domain controller in the current domain. Otherwise, the operation is performed on the local computer.
/add   : Adds a group, or adds a user name to a group. You must establish an account for users that you add to a group with this command.
/delete   : Removes a group, or removes a user name from a group.
UserName [ ...] : Lists one or more user names to add to or remove from a group. Separate multiple user name entries with a space.
net help   command   : Displays help for the specified net command.

Remarks
Used without parameters, net group displays the name of a server and the names of groups on the server.
You can also type net groups.
Use net group to group users who use the network in the same or similar ways. When you assign rights to a group, each member of the group automatically has those rights. In the output, net group precedes groups that include both users and groups with an asterisk (*).
The net group output of groups on the server is similar to the following:
Group Accounts for \\PRODUCTION
