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

Hi Martin_J_Parker,

Thank you.

we can get the who are all in local admin group, from them we need to find the renamed bulit in local administrator
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
