Change Local Administrator Password on 9000 WS via AD

[Guest]

We need to change local administrator password on 9000 workstartion and was
wondering if this can be done by creating a script and deploying it by AD.

Can someone please help and advise. Any help would be grately appreciated.

Thanks

That should help, or at least get you going in the right direction.

Hi Rodney,
Many thanks for your reply. I have had a look and have a
question for you. Would this be an automated process or manual as in do I
have to type the computer name individually for each client machine that
needs local admin password resetting ?

What I would ideally like to do is change local admin password on all the
9000 clients by implementing a group policy which will run this script.

Please advise.

Thanks.

That would do one at a time manually.

Try this

sPassword = "" ' put your static password here
sComputer = "."
Set oUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & sComputer & "/Administrator, user")
WScript.Echo "changing the password on " & sComputer & " to " & sPassword
oUser.SetPassword "'" & sPassword & "'"
oUser.SetInfo
If (err.Number <> 0) Then
MsgBox Err.Description,,"Error!"
Else
MsgBox "Password Change is complete",,"Completed"
End if
