get-adgroupmember for builtin\administrator fail

Hi I was running this task for obtaining the member of Builtin\Administrator group and it was working ok

get-adgroupmember "CN=Administrators,CN=Builtin,DC=CenterXXX,DC=ORG" |ft distinguishedName |out-string -width 200 >C:\cgxxxt1-scripts\Reports\admins.txt

 but I noticed today that it stopped to work and when I run it from the PowerShell the error below is displayed. Any idea about this error? I tried using -identity parameter and it is the same error. Only this is for administrator is failing. I have other task using the same command for Domain Admin and it working ok.  Ideas?

Thanks,
Libe

could you not perhaps use the ps command like this:
------------------------------
get-adgroupmember -identity administrators |ft distinguishedName |out-string -width 200
--------------------------------

?
