I would store the script located below into a files folder then copy it to the target host using win\_cooy. Then in a separate task invoke the script using win\_shell module

2. To manage the user in a windows environment you can use either the win\_users module or the win\_domains\_ users module  
The list of all windows modules is listed in the link below
