net user add <username>

this command will suppose you have already a root user with uid 0, and
will ask you that user's samba password.

you may easily add that user with th command smbpasswd -a root

otherwise if you have another administrative user that can add accounts
you can simply use:

net user add <username> -U<adminame>


net user can also be used to add users to a windows DC/machine and you
may also select which transport to use (ads/rpc/rap) by specifing it
after the word net (net rpc user add ...)

Use: net help user
for further information on teh command and net help for all the commands
supported by net.
