Listing User Accounts With WMI

Hello,

I am trying to list the accounts on a machine with WMI. When I use
the following query:
SELECT * FROM Win32_UserAccount
the results apppear to be all those on the same domain as the computer
I am connected to. I then tried the following query:
SELECT * FROM Win32_UserAccount WHERE LocalAccount = True
This time, the results returned very quickly and appear to be only
local accounts; however, I then tried to list the details for a
specific user using the following:
SELECT * FROM Win32_UserAccount WHERE LocalAccount = True AND Name =
"Administrator"
and the results return extremely slowly (as if it were talking to the
domain controller again). How can I query for the information on a
specific user on a machine and have the results returned quickly?

I have been using wbemtest.exe for testing the queries.

Thanks.
