Changing of local Admin password by GPO or script in AD

[Oleg]

Hello,

Is it possible to change local admin password on all
workstations under specified OU in AD by GPO or script?

Thank you in advance,
Oleg

I think you can use the "net user" command to change the password:

net user user_name new_password

No you can not change passwords trough GPO, but there is a utility, which
allows you to do a bulk password change on local computers on your network

Yes trough startup script you can do it, I was refering to if there is a
direct GPO settings that would allow you to do this. Thanks for pointing
this out.
