I want to change the password for the Administrator on ALL the computer on a domain.

What I have started to do is

Create a bat file with

NET USER Administrator %1

in it......

Then in group policy I created a group policy and
In the Users and Computers console, right click the OU on which you want to operate.
Select Properties from the context menu.
On the Group Policies tab, select New to create a new policy, give it a name, then click Edit.
Under the new policy, click the plus sign next to Computer Configuration.
Click the plus sign next to Computer Settings.
Click Scripts (Startup/Shutdown), then double-click Startup in the right pane.
Click Add.
Browse to the batch file you just created, and add it to the policy.
In the Script Parameters field, enter the password you want assigned to all machines.


Do you think this will work????????????????????

if that don't work like you want it I have a vb script that will run from your machine and change everyone. creates a success and fail file. if you do a rerun then it will only run against the failed ones to try and fix them (like if they were offline)

Thanks Bobby.

I just made the changes from here at home and hopefully the next time they login it will change the password.
