There are no graphical or command line utilities that produce comprehensive
reports on groups, users and permissions included with the Windows
Operating System or the Resource Kit. The NET commands and the
Windows Resource Kit ADDUSERS.EXE and PERMS.EXE utilities can be
used to create limited administrative reports by piping the output to a
text file.
Limited report generation is possible through the following commands:

machine.
