% Local account visibility

Audit local admins across your entire fleet

Local admin accounts are a top attack vector. This tool lists every local user, every local group, and every group membership on any domain-joined Windows machine — agentlessly. Find unauthorized admins, dormant accounts, and privilege drift before attackers do.

Local adminsPrivilege driftSecurity

Local user enumeration

List every local user account on the target machine — name, full name, description, last login, account status (enabled/disabled/locked), and password-expiration policy.

All usersStatus flags

Group membership audit

Enumerate all local groups (Administrators, Remote Desktop Users, Power Users, etc.) and their members. Catch unauthorized admin elevation immediately.

All groupsMemberships

Dormant account detection

Spot accounts that haven't logged in recently — common attack vectors for credential stuffing and lateral movement. Disable or remove them before they get abused.

Dormant accountsCleanup

Privilege drift identification

Compare current group memberships against your security baseline. Flag every machine where the Administrators group has grown beyond approved members.

Baseline driftCompliance

Unified admin console

Pairs with System Inventory for full hardware + identity context, and with Currently Logged-on User to map identities to live sessions. All 15 free tools live in one console — switch contexts without losing your place.

Get going in under 60 seconds

From download to first result in five simple steps. No complex configuration, no firewall rules, no additional licensing.

  1. 1

    Install Free Windows Admin Tools

    Install the bundle on your admin workstation. No agent deployment, no license key required, and target computers need no software at all.

    Requirement: Under 50 MB, two-minute install on the admin workstation only.
  2. 2

    Open the Local User / Group tool

    Click Users / Groups in the sidebar of the unified Free Windows Admin Tools console. The tool loads instantly alongside the other 14 utilities.

    Tip: Schedule this audit quarterly across all servers and workstations.
  3. 3

    Choose your Windows domain

    Domain-joined computers populate from Active Directory automatically — no CSV imports, no IP lists, no manual prep work.

    Multi-domain? Start with your member servers — they often have the riskiest local admin sprawl.
  4. 4

    Select the target PC or bulk-select an OU

    Pick a single machine for a quick check, or bulk-select an entire organizational unit for fleet-wide privilege audits.

    Best practice: Audit your entire 'Servers' OU in one operation for a complete privilege snapshot.
  5. 5

    Inspect users, expand groups, export findings

    Browse local users, expand local groups to see members, and export findings for compliance reports and remediation tickets.

    Going further: For automated local admin lifecycle and LAPS-style password rotation, see Endpoint Central (free for 25 endpoints).
