Anyone know how to use a command like IsAdmin() on a remote PC? (too see if you are an admin of it)

as long as file sharing is enabled (it should be if you're doing stuff "remotely", then check to see

FileExists(\\remotename\admin$\explorer.exe)

Since admins have access to the hidden admin$ share

Ok thanks for the idea...I will use that in the mean time but really in this case it isn't always right all the time is it? For instance in my situation we have some 'power user' groups that have extensive file-level permisions but are not administrators. (since the admin$ share is really just the %systemroot% ins't it?)

I guess i coudl systematically check a number of things like registry access, files access, debug permisisons ect...is that what the IsAdmin command does anyways? (is that part of autoit open source?)

But even with file permissions set, I think that only true administrators have SHARE permissions to admin$...but I'm not at a computer that's able to tell me right now...Check on one of yours - look at the share permissions rather than the file access permissions.
