Anyone had any luck with using pspasswd for change local admin password accounts?


Or is there another way to go about it?

    Are you wanting to do this remotely on multiple machines?

    the thought is -yes...


    We have so many different admin passwords for local user accounts its crazy.

    And doing a:

    pspasswd @computers.txt -u <DOMAIN\Administrator> -p <domain admin password> administrator <new local admin password>

    Doesn't work for you?

    Haven't tested yet,

    I was thinking more along the line of a startup script?

    Okay maybe I don't understand... why would you want to do this on every startup?

    Too change the p/w;)


    But not every time computer started up, I figured I could set this to run once?


    Hence the reason i'm asking my "stupid" questions before I began testing.

    Run the command I gave you with a file called "computers.txt" (with each computer name on a separate line in the file) and it will automatically run itself over and over again for each computer. No need for a script.

    pspasswd is to be run locally on your workstation and it will change the remote workstation. You're not supposed to put it into the log in script or anything like that. If you did then anybody could go and look at it and find out the passwords...

    Thanks - I understand now. Guess I had it in my head wrong, imagine that.
