Hi Jeanne,

You can use vbscript to do this. I don't have time to write one up now, but I here are a few links for you to look at.

Reset local administrator passwords with VBScript

Local admin password change script

How Can I Change a User’s Password?

quick and dirty:

Change the Local Administrator Password

I have used these scripts, they work. However, depending on how many machines there are it could take a while. Let it run before you leave work and let it bake!

I know I am stating the obvious...However, Admin’s should be changing there Admin password about once or twice a year.

If you are using the Deployment Solution part of CMS 1, an easy script to run would be:

net user administrator PASSWORD

Really interesting , in these days I am working to create a procedure to monthly change local servers administrator passwords,

I tried the script Reset local administrator passwords with VBScript published on Therepublic website and it was the right script that I needed , Just added few things concerning SOX requirements (more comments in the log , etc.) and it worked really well and solved my problem in a fast way.

I know we should change the passwords but since we are a college and our users change often we have not had any problems with the admin security until one of my technicians gave out the password to the CIT department. The password was on our lab systems and we have them all frozen with deepfreeze so we are fairly protected. I was able to use a vb script and change some of them and the rest we just reimaged since we had a new semester to deal with.
