Are you talking about changing the local admin password? That can be
done with the GPP extensions now, just so you know. No scripting
required!

Thanks Darren.
I fully understand now.
One of items i'm currently researching is how to change the local admin
accounts for computers orginization-wide. I've seen some scripts that
would accomplish this but still haven't tested anything just yet.

It does. That is what I'm saying. Local user accounts on local
machines will be use the account policy that is dictated by the domain
policy, unless you block it.

Thanks Darren.
The way i was reading it before lead me to belive that the
domain policy affects the user accounts on the local machines.

What happens is that, since the policy is linked to the domain,
all computer accounts will process it. This means that the domain policy
will override the local policy on those computers just like it would for
any other setting. You can, of course, set Block Inheritance on any OU
that you don't wish to have receive that policy.

I was hoping to get some clarity on this-- by setting a domain
policy accounts on the local machine get affected ? Or the domain passwd
policy overwrites any passwd policy set locally on a machine ?

Hey guys,
I just implemented a password policy for our domain. With this
affect local computer accounts as well? I do know that domain policies
super seed local computer polices.
Thanks,
Dave
