Thanks, Larry! Gonna start testing your ideas on Monday! Thanks, Jim, but we already have a means of changing the admin password. It's the Sched Tasks job copy of the admin password that we need help with. tj -----Original Message----- From: Jim Kenzig http://thin.net [mailto:jimkenz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Friday, February 27, 2004 1:19 PM To: mswindowsxp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mswindowsxp] Re: Changing Password within Scheduled Tasks You could also use the FREE domain password change DCPC utility at: http://www.danish-company.com/dcwcm/page/%7B4D40EC77-0788-48E7-9FB6-B81A 51F7 0CD2%7D.html Jim Kenzig http://thin.net -----Original Message----- From: mswindowsxp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mswindowsxp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Higley, T.J.

Most of our users are running Win2k or WinXP. We have Backups scheduled using the local Admin username/password. We did this so that Backup would continue to work even after the user changed his/her password. For security purposes, we would like to change the local admin password on all PCs every year. We have a script to do this and can push it via policy. But doing so causes Backup within Scheduled Tasks to fail. Question: Anyone know how (via policy) to reset the password stored within a Scheduled Tasks job (specifically Backup) so we don't have to touch each PC? tj TJ Higley manager, Desktop Services Taylor University - Upland (765) 998-4044 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity; but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline.
