You can join Windows user to Windows group from Powershell:

# Add IIS User to IIS Group
function add_user_to_iis_group($username)
	{
		$computergroup = [ADSI]("WinNT://localhost,computer")
		$admins = $computergroup.psbase.children.find("IIS_IUSRS")
		foreach ($member in $admins.psbase.Invoke("Members"))
			{
				$member_name = $member.GetType().InvokeMember("Name", ‘GetProperty’, $null, $member, $null)
				if ($member_name -eq $username) 
					{
						Write-Host $username "already in this group."
						return
					}
			}
		$admins.Add("WinNT://$username")
		Write-Host $username "added to group."
	}
 
add_user_to_iis_group "$username"

It checks user and if it is not exist in that group, add that username.
