Get-LocalGroupMember does not run remotely
Hello,
I am trying to obtain a list of all the local administrators on a set of servers using the following command as part of a larger script :
$LocalAdmins=Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Targets -ScriptBlock { Get-LocalGroupMember -Group Administrateurs | Where-Object { $_.PrincipalSource -eq "ActiveDirectory" } }
However I get an error message on each server saying that «Get-LocalGroupMember» is not recognized as applet command name, function, script or executable program.
I am running PowerShell as admin, and the command works on my local machine.
Do you see what I am missing ?
DamienFR68 It could be that the LocalAccounts module is not on the server. You could try to install it using Install-Module LocalAccounts.

I have several windows server versions running, from 2008 R2 to 2022, with the same error on all.
I have tried using the Install-Module LocalAccounts command on one server (W2012R2) to check, but I get the exact same error message as the one I obtained when running my original script. Do you see what could explain that?- And Get-LocalGroupMember -Group Administrateurs | Where-Object { $_.PrincipalSource -eq "ActiveDirectory" does work on those machines interactively using powershell_ISE.exe of poweshell.exe?
