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/
