I am looking for a function that returns all the administrators of a given
workstation. Does somebody know?

You meant listing the members of a group?

Yes, I want to know the members of the local administrator's group of a
machine , not the administrator's group of the domain.

Hi,

Why do you need such a list? I'm asking, because being in the Administrator
group does not mean that you have all rights. Also, you can create user
accounts with the same priviledges as an administrator that is in a
different group. Finally, on machines that follow common security practices
or use one of the security scanners, you rarely fiind more than two local
administrators.
