This command imports and exports information and settings associated with a Windows group account. For remote operation, use this command only if all requirements for Tether have been met.

The account information is exported to an "account bundle" directory on the desktop of the user currently logged in to the machine. The name of the directory is the SID of the group. If this directory already exists, it is replaced by the newest operation.

The directory contains the file win32_group.xml, which is a definition of the group and the group Local Security Authority (LSA) privileges.

For information about importing and exporting information associated with a Windows user account, see virtauser.
