How to know local Administrator name?


Go to solution Solved by UEZ,

Hi, I need to know the local Administrator name, then i need to know if that account is enabled.

I have the code from Guiness and Rover to know if the admin is enabled or not, but if i dont know his name i cant actually check if its enabled or not

ConsoleWrite(_IsAdminEnabled() & @CRLF)

Func _IsAdminEnabled() ; By Rover and guinness
    Local $oWMIService = ObjGet('winmgmts:\\localhost\root\CIMV2')
    Local $oColItems = $oWMIService.ExecQuery('SELECT * FROM Win32_UserAccount WHERE Name = "Administrador"', "WQL", 0x30)
    If IsObj($oColItems) Then
        For $oItem In $oColItems
            Return $oItem.Disabled = False
        Next
    EndIf
    Return True
EndFunc   ;==>_IsAdminEnabled

The script is meant to run in other languages too thats why i need to know his name. I also know how to retrieve the name of the administrators group or anything given a SID (so i can use too to retrieve the administrator name when i know his SID):

#include <Security.au3>

Local $aArrayOfData = _Security__LookupAccountSid("S-1-5-32-544")

; Print returned data if no error occured
If IsArray($aArrayOfData) Then
    ConsoleWrite("Account name = " & $aArrayOfData[0] & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("Domain name = " & $aArrayOfData[1] & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("SID type = " & _Security__SidTypeStr($aArrayOfData[2]) & @CRLF)
EndIf

But this does not work since administrator account does not always have the same SID:

  • SID: S-1-5-21domain-500
    Name: Administrator
    Description: A user account for the system administrator. By default, it is the only user account that is given full control over the system.

From this Microsoft article

So i basically need to know the domain SID from the local computer to then retrieve the Administrator name and then check if its enabled or not. Or if you have another method im open to new ideas... ;)

Apologize for my english ;)

Thank you.

EDIT: SOLUTION:

ConsoleWrite(_IsAdminEnabled(_RetrieveAdminName()) & @CRLF)

Func _IsAdminEnabled($AdminName) ; By Rover and guinness
    Local $oWMIService = ObjGet('winmgmts:\\localhost\root\CIMV2')
    Local $oColItems = $oWMIService.ExecQuery('SELECT * FROM Win32_UserAccount WHERE Name = "' & $AdminName & '"', "WQL", 0x30)
    If IsObj($oColItems) Then
        For $oItem In $oColItems
            Return $oItem.Disabled = False
        Next
    EndIf
    Return True
EndFunc   ;==>_IsAdminEnabled


Func _RetrieveAdminName() ; Adapted by adrigalilea from http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2005/07/22/how-can-i-determine-if-the-local-administrator-account-has-been-renamed-on-a-computer.aspx
$strComputer = @ComputerName
$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
$colAccounts = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * From Win32_UserAccount Where Domain = '" & $strComputer & "'")
For $objAccount in $colAccounts
    If StringLeft ($objAccount.SID, 6) = "S-1-5-" and StringRight($objAccount.SID, 4) = "-500" Then
       Return ($objAccount.Name)
    EndIf
Next
EndFunc   ;==>_RetrieveAdminName

Working... ;)

check water's AD Functions Au3 or check in a dosbox the "set" command. this gives you the %username% and in Autoit it's a macro

ConsoleWrite(@LogonDomain & "\" & @UserName & @CRLF)

I know the set command, and checking currently the "water's AD Functions Au3", but  this command is not what im looking for... ;)

i dont want the current user domain nor his name, i want to know the name from the Administrator account in every language have a differnet name by default and i need to know the name of this account on the machine runing the script.

OK NVM i got this:

strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colAccounts = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * From Win32_UserAccount Where LocalAccount = TRUE")

For Each objAccount in colAccounts
    If Left (objAccount.SID, 6) = "S-1-5-" and Right(objAccount.SID, 4) = "-500" Then
        Wscript.Echo objAccount.Name
    End If
Next

this is vbs but easy to adapt to autit ;)

Thank you @lordofthestrings  and nice nick hahaha

you can get members of group administrators:

>with WMI

or> without WMI

Thanks, i googled and found that thread too but both methods fails on my needs, since i dont want a list of administrators, plus you cant get "net localgroup administrators" if the name of the group in other language is different too. Thats why i need to know that specific name with the SID or any method that will work in any machine.

Try this:

MsgBox(0, "Test", "Built-in admin account name: " & WMI_GetLocalBuiltInAdminName())

Func WMI_GetLocalBuiltInAdminName($sHost = @ComputerName) ;coded by UEZ 2013
    If $sHost = "Localhost" Then $sHost = @ComputerName
    Local $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $sHost & "\root\cimv2")
    If @error Then Return SetError (1, 0, 0)
    Local $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * FROM Win32_UserAccount WHERE LocalAccount=True AND SID LIKE 'S-1-5-%-500'", "WQL", 0x30), $objItem
    If IsObj($colItems) Then
        For $objItem In $colItems
           Return $objItem.Name
        Next
    Else
        Return SetError (2, 0, 0) ;No WMI objects found for class Win32_UserAccount 
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>WMI_GetLocalBuiltInAdminName
