Hello,

I have this feeling that the local admin passwords for all our PC's across
the domain have been compromised. Is there any way by GPO or other means to
change the local Admin password on all my 600 PC's across my network. Please
help as I dont think it is cost effective to go to each machine and change
it. Thanks.

Hi,

You could use this tool (with some scripting) and change all the passwords
in domain.

I hope it helps,

Great! This is exactly what I've been looking for too!
I was going to use the tool from the W2K admin tools... but this is much
better!

Thanks.
