GetLocalGroup

GetLocalGroup is a command-line utility primarily used on Windows operating systems to retrieve information about local groups on a computer. It allows administrators and users to view the members of specific local groups, such as Administrators, Users, or Guests, without needing to access the graphical user interface. The command typically takes the name of the local group as an argument and then lists the users and other groups that are members of that group. This can be particularly useful for auditing security settings, troubleshooting access permissions, or simply understanding the composition of administrative groups on a machine. The output of GetLocalGroup can be redirected to a file for later analysis or inclusion in reports. It is a built-in tool, meaning it does not require separate installation and is available in most Windows command prompt environments. Its functionality is essential for system administrators managing multiple local user accounts and their associated privileges.
