List local administrators on a Windows workstation

Displays local and domain accounts that are members of the position's Administrators group.

Command / script
Get-LocalGroupMember -Group 'Administrateurs' -ErrorAction Stop |
    Select-Object Name, ObjectClass, PrincipalSource |
    Format-Table -AutoSize

When should you use it?

Use this in a privileged-account audit or before removing obsolete access.

What the script does

  • Get-LocalGroupMember reads members of the local Administrators group.
  • On a non-French Windows installation, adapt the local group name to the operating-system language.

Precautions

  • Do not remove an account until you have identified its purpose and retained an emergency administrator account.

Rollback

This version of the script is read-only.
