I have a script I am using to change the password of an existing local

XP boxes, but when I tried it on a W2Ksp4 workstation I get an error
80005000 on the following line:

Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/testuser, user")

I verified the account does exist on this workstation. Perhaps a
compatiability issue?



Try removing the space between the comma and the word user...

This:

"/testuser,user"

Not this:

"/testuser, user"
