Funny you go this way, I'd personnaly use the dseditgroup command with
something like this :

dseditgroup -o edit -a lanadmins -t group -n /NetInfo/DefaultLocalNode
admin

Well there are a couple of reasons I do it that way.

Firstly I have an existing NetInfo database that gets pushed out via radmind, and it's not upgraded from "legacy", so dseditgroup won't work, even though nesting the group manually does work.

Secondly due to NetInfo being a pain in the arse to manage atomically, I have a whole raft of NetInfo properties that I set at boot on my images, and they differ for each machine, so I set them all in a consistent manner.


I should have suggested this though. Ideally Workgroup Manager should let you add groups to the local NetInfo groups when you're viewing the NetInfo store as well.
