You can use script if you want to see if the logged on user is an administrator

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
strComputer = objNetwork.ComputerName
strUser = objNetwork.UserName

isAdministrator = false

Set objGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Administrators")
For Each objUser in objGroup.Members
    If objUser.Name = strUser Then
        isAdministrator = true        
    End If
Next

If isAdministrator Then
    Wscript.Echo strUser & " is a local administrator."
Else
    Wscript.Echo strUser & " is not a local administrator."
End If

I am not sure how to handle it when the script is run with "Runas" I am afraid.
