How do I determine if SQL Sever Login is disabled using T-Sql?

How do I determine if SQL Sever Login is disabled using T-Sql?
I can disable it and enabled it using the following T-Sql function:
ALTER LOGIN login [ENABLE | DISABLE]
I just want to know if it is enable or disabled?It's stored in the system table sys.server_principals, in the column called
is_disabled
However, in SQL Server 2005 system tables are not visible by default; you
must use the Dedicated Administrator Connection (DAC) which you can read
about in the Books Online.

You can also query the system view and look into column is_disabled.1
denotes the login is disabled
select * from sys.sql_logins

in a connection that was not a sysadmin, just a regular user. So when I
couldn't see server_principals, I assumed it was because it was a system
table.
Then of course logging in using the DAC, I was sysadmin, so I could see that
view.
So sys.server_principals is the answer.
If you check the BOL for sys.sql_logins, you'll see that it is a view based
on sys.server_principals, containing all the columns from that view, plus a
view others.
