Change Local Admin pass network wide


Recommended Posts

I am looking for something, a utility I am guessing, that will allow me to change the local admin password network wide at once. I have domain admin rights, and I have changed the password there. I just hate having to remember all these passwords, now we have 3 local admin passwords, and I would like to reset all of them without going to each machine, or having to set them one by one through Active Directory.

You can always use remote management right clicking in My Computer and clicking Manage, and connecting to the remote computer from yours. I know that there can be a way where you can use a script to do all of that automaticaly.

Captain Phatty,

This may help for the command line:

C:\>net user /?
The syntax of this command is:


NET USER [username [password | *] [options]] [/DOMAIN]
         username {password | *} /ADD [options] [/DOMAIN]
         username [/DELETE] [/DOMAIN]

wouldn't a string in a login script do the trick? I think that's much easier and no 3rd party apps.

Hold on a sec...Remember that a logon script is run AS the user who is currently logged on. In a large enterprise, you can't assume that normal domain users have local admin rights... which would mean that the 'net user...' command would not work in a logon script...
