Getting the LocalAdmins List for a Set of Servers

I have a list of computers (stored in a database) and I want to programmatically define the local computers on those computers so that I can store this information in the database.

I understand it can be done using powershell. But looking for a way to do the same using C #

how to do it

I just tried this code on my local machine and it works great:

        string hostName = "myComputer";
        //get machine
        using (DirectoryEntry machine = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + hostName))
        {
            //get local admin group
            using (DirectoryEntry group = machine.Children.Find("Administrators", "Group"))
            {
                //get all members of local admin group
                object members = group.Invoke("Members", null);
                foreach (object member in (IEnumerable)members)
                {
                    //get account name
                    string accountName = new DirectoryEntry(member).Name;
                    //DO SOMETHING...
                }
            }        
        }


I can't test it on remote computers until I get back to work, but let's assume you're running an account that has permissions on the remote computer. I think it will work.
