    <p>I need to get a list of all people in the company who have local admin rights on their computers. We have a group on each machine called "Administrators." I can get a list of all computers from active directory with:</p> <pre><code>import active_directory for computer in active_directory.search ("objectCategory='Computer'"): print computer.displayName </code></pre> <p>Now I think I need to take each computer name and feed it back in. I was thinking maybe reading the remote registry on each computer and looking for the SID -- supposedly the SID 'S-1-5-domain-500' will give me a list of people on the computer that are local admins. I did:</p> <pre><code>import _winreg COMPUTER_NAME = "FakeComputerName" KEY_PATH = r"System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName" HKLM_remote = _winreg.ConnectRegistry (r"\\%s" % COMPUTER_NAME, _winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) hKeyRemote = _winreg.OpenKey (HKLM_remote, KEY_PATH, 0, _winreg.KEY_READ) value, type = _winreg.QueryValueEx (hKeyRemote, "ComputerName") print "Remote computer name is", value Remote computer name is FakeComputerName </code></pre> <p>How do I combine these to get what I need? Will these work together? Is this the best way to go about this? Once I get this to work I can figure out writing it to a file and adding exceptions like if the computer isn't on the network it writes that and then moves onto the next PC. Perhaps use win32security?</p> <p>I don't know what registry key to use or even if it will work. I've spent about 5 hours on this today and I am still learning Python. I don't know VB and that is the majority of code I see on the net.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
