Hi

To run this WMI query against NT4 computers, WMI needs to be installed
on them (WMI comes default with WinME, Win2k, WinXP and Win2k3):

' Script is based on information in this article:
'
' Well Known Security Identifiers in Windows (Server) Operating Systems
' http://support.microsoft.com/?id=243330

strComputer = "." ' use "." for local computer
strGroupSID = "S-1-5-32-544" ' Well Known SID of the group

'On Error Resume Next
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
     ("Select * from Win32_Group WHERE SID = '" & strGroupSID & "'")

For Each objItem in colItems
   Wscript.Echo "Name of the Administrators group: " & objItem.Name
Next
