List local Windows Administator names with .NET
First, you need to install the NuGet Package System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement
Now you can open a context and get all members of the built-in group "Administrators"
// This works only on Windows!
using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;
using (PrincipalContext ctx = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Machine))
using (GroupPrincipal grp = GroupPrincipal.FindByIdentity(ctx, IdentityType.Name, "Administrators"))
{
if (grp is not null)
{
Console.WriteLine("Output:");
foreach (Principal p in grp.GetMembers(recursive: true))
{
Console.WriteLine(p.Name);
}
}
}
Result:
Output:
Ben
