You can use windows 2k resource kit and use the following utility local.exe with the below usage to find the local admins in your domain:

#local administrators /DomainName:DomainController

Subject: How to find the users with local admin rights?

Hi, on the same lines as an earlier posted who sought to find Blank
passwords, I was wondering if there is a way to find out, as to who all
have Local Administration Rights in my domain?

I mean, I want to Audit is if our Helpdesk personnel has scrupulously given
Local Admin rights on workstations, or created user accounts with Local
Admin rights for their friends/acquaintances etc.

I was wondering, if there is an alternative to restrict HelpDesk from
knowing local Admin username and password and still do not effect their
ability to troubleshoot a problem in case they need to have escalated
rights on someone's PC?

I know, it's a bit unrelated to this topic but just brought to fore a
question I sought some clues on since long.
