Hi,
I would like to create a BigFix Query to retrieve a list of all local administrators configured on a windows device. If I use this relevance:
members of local group “administrators”
Will this cause calls to the AD server? The last thing I want is for all the endpoints to query the AD servers at once.
Thanks
I believe it would only query AD on domain controllers, where the local group administrators is actually BUILTIN\Administrators in AD
from past experience, retrieving the list of users via relevance on an AD does cause alot of results (depending on how many user objects you have in your AD). At the time I didn’t see any performance issues from the AD perspective (even though i’m sure there was some), but I noticed it in the console when the property tried returning thousands and thousands of lines…
