Exactly and even if done in CM, it would go back to “a group in a group, in 
local admins…”

If CM can do it, I probably have the method for what I’m trying to do, but I 
couldn’t find anything like that.

 

I’ve done the regular CM inventory, but again, that basically returns the 
members of the local groups.

I wouldn’t be able to see if the user is an admin if he is member of a domain 
group which is in local admins.

I would need to interpret all that information

 

I also figured I don’t need the CM inventory, since I use GPP to enforce the 
members and use domain groups to grant single users admin access to specific 
clients. One group per client and I have granted the access, have it documented 
and made sure it stays like that.

I think he just wants the posh (targeting a remote workstation).  doesn't care 
about making it work in CM or not for any reason.

There is a way to do it in powershell, could make a ci possibly. I'll see if I 
can find it tomorrow.

Yeah, that works, but what he wants is not just that--a report in SRS.  what he 
wants is "ok, we know Sherry is the current logged on user... is the username 
"ourdomain\Sherry" somehow nested into a group, which is nested into a group, 
which is nested into a group, which is in the local Administrators group on 
this specific box?  I need to know just a "Yes" or a "No" RIGHT NOW, but I 
can't be bothered to go look that up in AD users and computers" 

 

That... I have no idea.  Sounds like complex LDAP queries and recursive queries 
and just... scary.  :)

There’s a HINV extension someone wrote, probably Ms. Kissinger.  It puts the 
membership of all local groups into a WMI class and HINV collects it.

This works great for us, I have a little report that spits out all users in 
local admins by workstation name.

You know how to get that information?

 

I’m not asking if the user has admin rights currently, considering also UAC, 
but if it is through any group, local or domain, part of the local admin group 
and potentially can get admin rights (UAC)

 

Something like this only working locally when started as the user itself:

whoami /groups

 

which works in a domain through domain groups:

BUILTIN\Administrators                                        Alias            
S-1-5-32-544

 

Now the catch, also against a remote machine. I know the remote user account, 
but is that user a member of local administrators through any group membership?

 

I haven’t found anything useful, preferable in powershell.

At the end I just need true or false.

 

It’s for a tool, connecting to a remote computer, retrieving the currently 
logged on user, but I can’t get the information if that user is a local admin.

 

Have I explained what I’m looking for good enough? :)

Any ideas?
