Gerry,
This has been a thorny issue for me, too. I explored ways to deal with local group management about 4-5 years and the only built-in solution then was the WinNT provider. Doing a check now on some resources and then exploring WMI on even Win7, I don't find anything else for it.
Looking at the security-related methods and properties in WMI, what you'll see is that properties are almost universally read-only, and methods that do anything substantial are designed to perform tasks that you can't do with WinNT: and ldap:. That's even more of an irritation to me now than it was back then because I use PowerShell frequently and the way .NET binding to those providers works forces you to map out method bindings on your own. : /
Is there a particular kind of situation you're trying to handle with this?

Hello Jialiang,.
As I said in the original post, I already have the ADSI solution. My question is how to do this using WMI classes.

Here you go:
strComputer = "COMPUTER NAME"
Set colAccounts = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "")
Set objUser = colAccounts.Create("user", "TestUser1")
objUser.SetPassword "PASSWORD"
objUser.SetInfo
Set objGroup = GetObject("WinNT://"& strComputer &"/Administrators")
objGroup.Add "WinNT://"& strComputer & "/TestUser1"
This script creates a user "TestUser1" whose password is "PASSWORD" on the
specified computer and add the user to the Administrators group.
