Viewfinity has just released a free product, Local Admin Discovery tool, that allows you to discover user accounts and groups that are members of the local “Administrators” built-in user group on computers in your Windows domain.  Since being a local Administrator presents an unwelcomed opportunity for damage to been done to the computer, either intentionally or accidentally, having detailed information related to which users and groups have administrator rights on corporate desktops allows you to reassess who should have these rights.

Use our free tool to run an analysis on your AD domain. Once the analysis has been run, IT Administrators can take action, if needed, by removing the users or suspicious groups from the Administrators group.

Download the tool here.

Viewfinity Privilege Management Version 3.5, launched today, meets multiple business needs of a Least Privileges environment through a variety of “must have” capabilities including:

• Granular and flexible management of locked down environments
• Elevation of both time-based and permanent privileges for workstations and users
