Change "local" admin account password via script?

[Udir]

We have 500 computers that all have the same "administrator" password for the local machine. I would like to reset these as several people around the company know the password.

Is it possible to change the local admin account via a script like through login scripts so I dont have to touch all the computers?

Thanks!

Hi Udir

There is a command line tool called PSTools that amongst other things will do exactly what you're after. I just did a google search on "pstools" and it gave heaps of sites where you can download it from. It's all free.

Hope this helps you out
