Use the command "net localgroup administrators" to find which local users have administrator privilege.

Its like iSiek states...

You need to find a SID that begins with S-1-5- and end with -500
That is the SID of the local admin...
That will tell you what the account name is of the builtin admin.

Hi

I need to check it on 2000, 2003 and 2008 servers.
If you use script specified on that page you can do that using

strComputer variable. Place there name for a server which you want to examine and that's all

You can also use text file with computers but you need to rebuilt script a little bit. Procedure for reading hosts from file at MS page at
