Administrator on client machine

[IndyGill]

Hi,

I have a network with three windows 2000 server, one of which is my domain controller and exchange server, running Active Directory. I also have 25 client machines running windows 2000 on the network.

Each of the clients machines on the network log on to the domain. However it is possible to log on to the local machine (not the domian) as Adminisrator which has no pasword set yet. Rather than going to each client machine and adding a password can I change this through AD or even change the Administrator logon name to something that is more obscure. I have setup all users and computers under a Group Policy that does not include the other two servers.

I would be grateful for any help as I am new to network administration

Mant thanks

Indy

Here's a way using VBS. You have to have admin rights to the clients. Save this to a VBS file and run it.

'ChgPW.vbs
'**********************************************************
Dim usrObj
Set usrObj=GetObject("WinNT://computername/administrator&quot
usrObj.SetPassword("password&quot
Set usrObj=Nothing
