Thanks Douglas! You're welcome, Steffen! Of course, and as always. I will work around using CHCP and update the script. . . . Of course /-C would solve it . . . On the other hand it's a simple way to see the thousand separator. Just so I understand, do you mean you're going to use CHCP to force a s...

The surprising result is that the thousands separator fails in the DIR output. I didn't even expect that it could be anything else than ',' or '.' But in the Russian output it actually is a 'non-breaking space' that appears as a 'ya' character in the editor window. I will work around using CHCP and...

All of you guys are very welcome to try it out and give a feedback I ran it on my work computer, while connected to the work network, and got this result: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows version : Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Product ...

I know that this topic lay dormant for a few years Rob Van Der Woude issued a challenge some years ago ( http://www.robvanderwoude.com/gettitle.php ), asking people to write a pure batch script that would get the title of the currently running window. I'm not sure how long ago, since the page isn't...

is there anyway to return to the menu prompts WITHOUT using a GOTO label? I ask because scripts can become cluttered with many GOTO labels and look "bad". I know they are necessary but figured I'd ask. First, I agree with Squashman, and I'm glad to see you took his advice. For the benefit...

I never heard about something like that. If that is really is a third-party program which name has it? It's called Avecto Defendpoint. Here is a blurb from the support team describing it: In an on-going effort to strengthen the security of our ecosystem with respect to privileged access, Identity a...

Instead of "Administratoren" there should be "%adminGroupName%" (which contains localized version of "Administrators" ; all without doublequotes) I made that change when testing, and also substituted "Administrators" directly. Both had the same result: No Ins...

Thanks! Tried it at work and it returns the right results in no time I'm curious what Douglas' results will be using your approach. n Runs in under a second, with accurate results. That's nearly the same solution, i've given above (with a removed flaw, but a (probably slower) "for /F" ins...

@Douglas Basically this is what I included into the script for the moment. (The link can be found in the initial post.) set "LocalAdmin=Not found" for /f "tokens=1* delims==" %%i in ( 'wmic path Win32_Group WHERE "LocalAccount='TRUE' AND SID='S-1-5-32-544'" GET Name /v...

I'm not sure if the following is faster Not quite. It's querying the Win32_GroupUser class that isn't optimized. I decided to use WMIC path Win32_Group WHERE "LocalAccount='TRUE' AND SID='S-1-5-32-544'" to get the admin group name and try to find it in the output of NET USER %USERNAME% . ...

What have you tried so far? If there is a script or command line you're working on, please post it.

It uses Colous.exe, an external program to display colors in batch, but can be used instead of cls as well.

Please share your solution, and let us know how it compares to einstein1969's.
