Description

This module will identify systems in a given range that the
supplied domain user (should migrate into a user pid) has administrative
access to by using the Windows API OpenSCManagerA to establishing a handle
to the remote host. Additionally it can enumerate logged in users and group
membership via Windows API NetWkstaUserEnum and NetUserGetGroups.
