The following script can be run against remote Windows machines, and will enumerate the contents of the remote server’s local administrators group.
It requires Sysinternals PSExec utility, and must be run with administrative credentials. Set the four paths to the correct locations for your workstation.
REM set path to PSexec on machine the script is being run from
Set PSExecDir=c:\pstools
REM Set file that contains the list of all your remote machines
Set InputFile=C:\servers.txt
REM Set path to file where administrator group membership is logged
Set OutputFile=C:\localadmins.txt
REM set path to error log file
Set ErrorFile=C:\errors.txt
for /f %%a in (%InputFile%) do (
echo *** Checking Server %%a *** >> %OutputFile%
%PSExecDir%\psexec \\%%a net localgroup administrators >> %OutputFile%
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (echo Problem with obtaining local administrators on %%a >> %ErrorFile%)
)

I’m trying to run your windows local administrator script as follows:-
REM set path to PSexec on machine the script is being run from
Set PSExecDir=”c:\\SysInternals\\PsTools”
REM Set file that contains the list of all your remote machines
Set InputFile=”C:\\SysInternals\\computers.txt”
REM Set path to file where administrator group membership is logged
Set OutputFile=”C:\\SysInternals\\localadmins.txt”
REM set path to error log file
Set ErrorFile=”C:\\SysInternals\\errors.txt”
for/F %aa in (%InputFile%) do (
echo *** Checking Server “%aa” *** >> %OutputFile%
%PSExecDir%\psexec \\%%’ net localgroup administrators >> %OutputFile%
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (echo Problem with obtaining local administrators on %%a >> %ErrorFile%)
)
But the script fails to compile at line 9 char 5 which is the for loop. The error is “Expected Identifier”.
I’m no scripting expert any help you can give will be appreciated!
