How to test windows user is authenticated and is an Administrator?

I would like to authorise only Administrators to use certain SOAP functions of my service. If I pass a username with each SOAP call I have not found a simple way of obtaining security information about that user from the name, e.g. Are they authenticated and are they an administrator?

I have noticed some examples on the web that use the .NET WindowsIdentity class to obtain security information but they all use WindowsIdentity::GetCurrent() and I would like to obtain information about a user from the name. I have tried the WindowsIdentity constructor to which you pass the username but this always brings an exception.

Does anybody have an ideas of how I should approach this?
