You can use a WMI script to change the local account passwords.  I use a
customized script to change all the local admin pwd's on my domain
periodically.  I have it reference a text file that contains all the
PC's that I want to change the pwd on.

Hi all, 

Is it possible to reset a local machine password, whilist using a domain
account, and without logging off and on a domain account? i.e from the
command line?

Also is it possible to reset a domain password without loggin onto the
domain. E.g A user authenticates with the domain, logs on/off using a
domain account, but uses a machine in a workgroup, and cannot reset his
password when expiration creeps up.

Thanks in advance,
