Hi

I have a problem,

I need to rename administrator local account on 500 workstations and reset
the
password. I'm using cusrmgr to rename i don't have any problem but i'm using
a password with special character ( # ! @ etc.. ) and it's doesn't work.

i tested with no special character and i didn't have any problem. But
i'don't have any choice i have to use special character.

i tried with a variable ... still not work

Thanks a lot

Other than contacting the developer, you could use Psexec, tip 4141 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com
to run the following 2 commands on each computer:

cusrmgr -r Administrator -d YourNewName -p
net user YourNewName NewPassword
