Actually, now that I think about this; I do have a use for this utility.
I DL'd it, Jim, but can't seem to get it to work the way I think it's
supposed to.
I expected to be able to add a PC name to the list (actually, it found
all PCs in our domain, so I deleted all but one test PC), type in my
username and password (I'm a domain admin), assign a new password, and
make the change. I was surprised that it didn't require my password. But
it didn't work with just my username.
This thing seems quite simple (almost scarily simple), but apparently
I'm simpler still. It's not working.

Subject: [mswindowsxp] Changing Password within Scheduled Tasks
We support 700 desktops for faculty & staff here on campus. 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?
