Email Print Digg This Add to del.icio.us

Here's a script from Ian Gregory that will obtain the names of the members of the Local Administrators group on each PC. This script uses addusers.exe from the Resource Kit and generates a custom MIF file containing this information. You need all three files in the package source directory.
Download the admins.zip package.
