Check OS Users

Hello,
i need to get information about users that belong to the local
administrators operating system group.
I execute the following procedure and got my information:
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'net localgroup administrators'
The question is that i need to get this information without the NULLs and
the output lines that appear.
Is it possible? Is there any other way to get the same information?
Thanks and best regards.You can also try using the following in query analyzer if
the builtin\administrators group hasn't been removed:
exec master..xp_logininfo 'BUILTIN\Administrators',
'MEMBERS'

You can use INSERT ... EXEC to insert the results into a table and filter as
needed:
CREATE TABLE #Results(OutputLine varchar(8000))
INSERT INTO #Results
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'net localgroup administrators'
SELECT *
FROM #Results
WHERE OutputLine IS NOT NULL AND
OutputLine NOT LIKE '-%' AND
OutputLine <> 'The command completed successfully.'
DROP TABLE #Results

Consider using application code rather than Transact-SQL. API's like WMI
are much more robust for this sort of thing.
