I will also say that this sounds like a bad thing to do.

That said, there is no direct way to grant user rights to accounts
from script in Windows 2000 and later. You can however
shell out to an execution of such as NTrights.exe from the
resource kit. User Rights are policies, and there is no script
interface for setting the values of policies.
