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.

I've used it during penetration tests. It enumerates users and a lot of
information.
Give it a try.
Otherwise a linux good tool here http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/

Hi all,

Is there any way to get a list of Active Directory users with blank
passwords? Of course, I'm attempting to discover such user accounts with
domain admin privileges.

Best Regards,
Igor
