Note the change to your subject line. When posting something off the topic, please include OT: at the begging of the subject line. You do not do enough searching. There is a MS command line tool available that will allow you to script in a batch file the changing of the administrator account password on Windows XP computers. I know it is there as I used to use it. If I have the time, I will look it up, but in the mean time, do more searching.

But I was not getting the right place for this Query that's why I had posted this query here. Please suggest the solution for the following condition:- We have Windows Server 2003 domain with around 600 Clients. All clients have Windows XP Pro. Installed. We have already renamed the local administrator account on all client machines but now I want to reset the password of all client machines and condition is that we have to do it periodically like weekly or monthly. Now I am looking for any script, any command line or any utility with the help of which I can do this activity form a centralized location with minimum efforts. I had search GOOGLE lots of time but not get the exactly solutions. Thanks in advance !!! -- Thanks and Regards, Shorabh S.
