Re: Changing workstation Admin password through AD



Hello Joey,

Add a simple batchfile to the startup script of the computer settings part (pw.bat for example).

net user administrator password

Remove domain users and everyone from the security, add only system and administrators with Full and domain computers with read and execute. If the workstation starts up the password will apply.

Best regards

I would like to do the following:
1. Rename the Administrator account
2. Change the password to the Administrator account
3. Create a dummy Administrator account
4. Disable the new account called Administrator.
I know how to rename the administrator's account, but how can I do the
other three steps without visiting each workstation. I would like to
push this out through AD if possible. Any suggestions are
appreciated.
