How to get administrator group name in different languages

I did a function to Inno Setup, also, I guess it will works for Delphi.

Complete list of SID's: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/243330/en

Tks @nlsbshtr

function GetNameBySID(const SID: string): string;var  WbemLocator, WbemServices, WbemService, WbemObjectSets: Variant;begin;  Result := '';  WbemLocator := CreateOleObject('WbemScripting.SWbemLocator');  WbemServices := WbemLocator.ConnectServer('localhost', 'root\CIMV2');  WbemObjectSet := WbemServices.ExecQuery('SELECT Name FROM Win32_Group where SID="'+SID+'"');  if not VarIsNull(WbemObjectSet) and (WbemObjectSet.Count > 0) then  begin            WbemObject := WbemObjectSet.ItemIndex(0);    if not VarIsNull(WbemObject) then      Result := WbemObject.Name;        end;end;

The SID for the local administrators group should always be S-1-5-32-544.

Have a look here for all usable identifiers:

I also had this problem today. I have scripted a clean and fast Powershell Script, maybe someone can use it too!
