This tool requires PowerShell version 3.0. This tool has only one mandatory parameter which is the $GroupList parameter. If you just want to find the members of the "Administrators" group on the local computer, then you do not have to make Author: Ron Ratzlaff (aka “The_Ratzenator”) Date: 8\26\2014 any specification for the -ComputerName or the -GroupName parameters since the local computer and the "Administrators" group has been set as the default values. If you want to get a list of members of the "Administrators" group from a remote computer, then you specify the remote computer name using the -ComputerName parameter, but again, you do not have to specify the "Administrators" group using the -GroupName parameter since that is the default value. This script will also attempt to detect if the Administrators group has been renamed, and if so, it will target that group instead. This tool uses the "System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement" .Net namespace that was released with .Net Framework 3.5. Since Windows PowerShell 3.0 requires the full installation of Microsoft .NET Framework 4, this will not be a problem, just ensure that the "#Requires -Version 3.0" statement remains at the top of the script to be used as the primary detection method, assuming that the full .Net Framework 4 version is installed.
