Hi this is great, do I need to change anything in this script apart form the "testpassword"

I take it I can then add the script to the logon part of the doamin group policy?

try this as part of a logon/startup script:

strComputer = "MyComputer"
Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Administrator, user")
objUser.SetPassword "testpassword"
objUser.SetInfo

To make it more generic, you will need to set the script to get the pc's
computer name before trying to change the password.

Somehow many of our users know the local admin password for our XP machines,
is there a way to change this on all PC's to something else, like a group
policy?
