How to read users in Local Admin group on remote machine?

[lastusernameleft]

Is there a way using LDAP to read these members? i can read the groups using
the WINNT provider but i can't use a directorysearcher against WINNT only
LDAP, this seems like such an easy thing to do but i haven't had any luck.
any help would be appreciated.

No the only provider capable is WinNT, LDAP is exclusively used to access
the Directory (AD), the "local accounts" DB is not a directory (you don't
want to run a directory server on any of your workstations don't you ;-))
