\"\"<\/a>Yesterday <\/a>I posted an article on listing members of the local administrators group with PowerShell and Get-WmiObject. PowerShell 3.0 offers an additional way using the CIM cmdlets. The CIM cmdlets query the same WMI information, except instead of using the traditional RPC\/DCOM connection, these cmdlets utilize PowerShell's remoting endpoint so they are much more firewall friendly and a little faster in my testing. I'll be covering these cmdlets over time as PowerShell v3 is released. <\/p>\n

The code I wrote yesterday can be re-used with only a few modifications. We can still easily get the group object.<\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> Get-CimInstance Win32_Group -filter \"Name='Administrators'\" -computername 'Quark'<\/p>\n

SID Name Caption Domain
\n--- ---- ------- ------
\nS-1-5-32-544 Administrators QUARK\\Administrators QUARK
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

We can connect either by a computername or a CIMSession. We still need to get associated objects. There is a cmdlet called Get-CIMAssociatedInstance which you could use like this:<\/p>\n


\nGet-CimInstance Win32_Group -filter \"Name='Administrators'\" -computername 'Quark' | Get-CimAssociatedInstance -ComputerName 'Quark'
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

However, this will return all associations and I have not been able to find a way with this cmdlet to limit results to user and group objects as I did with WMI. However, we can still use the Associators Of query.<\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> $computer='Quark'
\nPS C:\\> $query=\"Associators of {Win32_Group.Domain='$computer',Name='Administrators'} where Role=GroupComponent\"
\nPS C:\\> Get-CimInstance -Query $query -ComputerName $computer<\/p>\n

Name Caption AccountType SID Domain
\n---- ------- ----------- --- ------
\nAdministrator QUARK\\Admini... 512 S-1-5-21-139... QUARK
\nJeff QUARK\\Jeff 512 S-1-5-21-139... QUARK
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

These objects have some slightly different property names so to tweak the output I had to make a few changes. Here's my complete demo script.<\/p>\n


\n#requires -version 3.0<\/p>\n

#use CIM to list members of the local admin group<\/p>\n

[cmdletbinding()]
\nParam([string]$computer=$env:computername)<\/p>\n

$query=\"Associators of {Win32_Group.Domain='$computer',Name='Administrators'} where Role=GroupComponent\"<\/p>\n

write-verbose \"Querying $computer\"
\nwrite-verbose $query <\/p>\n

Get-CIMInstance -query $query -computer $computer |
\nSelect @{Name=\"Member\";Expression={$_.Caption}},Disabled,LocalAccount,
\n@{Name=\"Type\";Expression={([regex]\"User|Group\").matches($_.Class)[0].Value}},
\n@{Name=\"Computername\";Expression={$_.ComputerName.ToUpper()}}
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Here's the code in action.<\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> C:\\scripts\\Get-CIMLocalAdmin.ps1 -Verbose
\nVERBOSE: Querying QUARK
\nVERBOSE: Associators of {Win32_Group.Domain='QUARK',Name='Administrators'}
\nwhere Role=GroupComponent
\nVERBOSE: Perform operation 'Query CimInstances' with following parameters,
\n''namespaceName' = root\\cimv2,'queryExpression' = Associators of
\n{Win32_Group.Domain='QUARK',Name='Administrators'} where
\nRole=GroupComponent,'queryDialect' = WQL'.<\/p>\n

Member : QUARK\\Administrator
\nDisabled : False
\nLocalAccount : True
\nType : User
\nComputername : QUARK<\/p>\n

Member : QUARK\\Jeff
\nDisabled : False
\nLocalAccount : True
\nType : User
\nComputername : QUARK
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

It wouldn't be much to turn this into a function, although all computers will need to be running Powershell 3.0. Download Get-CIMLocalAdmin<\/a> and try it out for yourself.<\/p>\n
