RE: Local admin password

We used a startup script via a GPO.  Simply use the NET USER command to set the 
password.  I created a CMD file and pointed the policy to it.  If you ever need 
to change it, just change it in the file referenced by the GPO.  Everyone will 
update at their next startup.  We also added our helpdesk group to local admins 
through the same file using the NET GROUP command.  One note:  use a startup 
script instead of a logon script so it can't be seen by users.  This can cause 
issues if people start machines off your network, such as remote laptops.  
Maybe someone else has a better solution for those machines.

Subject: Local admin password


Hi all, 

One of my customers asks me how to change the password of all local 
administrators of Windows XP workstations. They don´t want to go to each one 
and change it because they are quite a lot and they need to put the same 
password to all. Is there any tool to do this? 

Thanks in advance!!

Daniel
