Hi!

We're wanting to track down all the user accounts in our domain that currently have local administrative rights on any of our Windows 10 computers. Searching online I came across many convoluted methods that might work to get a list like this put together, but I'm curious what do other people currently do for this scenario? Is there a tool that might actually help do this efficiently?

Thanks in advance for any help!

    You'll need to role your own, some of these may be a good starting point.
