While correct it might also be helpful to put the user in a group.

net localgroup <GroupName> <UserName> /add

[Packman0404]

Will this account be created for the domain or local machine?

[IcemanND]

net user <username> <password> /add

Creates an account on the machine it is run on

net localgroup <GroupName> <UserName> /add

Adds the specified accoutn to the specified group, domain or local. use Domain\UserName for <UserName> option to add domain users to specified group.

Is there a way you could push this local account to 35 machines that all live on a domain, and also set the password to a scheme you have set?

Sure, you could put it in a CMD script and push it as a startup script via GPO.
