Hi,
I wasn't sure where to post this as a server maybe able to do this.
We have nearly 600 XP and 7 PC's in our Windows 2003 AD domain and we have various differnet local admin passwords on them and I think some users know it. How can I change all of them to something else rather than having to go to each computer and maually change it?
For our logon scripts we use kix script so I'm not sure if we can do something with that or a GPO?
Thanks

There is no Group policy defined for this by default.
You can use Group policy preference in this case. It will come handy. But that is not useful as your AD is still in windows server 2003. But to use GPP you need have window server 2008 AD infrastructure.
Only option left for you is logon script.
Follow below link which explains the scenario and which has the script to accomplish this.
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") strComputer = "." Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Administrator,user") objUser.SetPassword "NEW.PASSWORD" ' Enter new password between brackets objUser.SetInfoReference - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverGP/thread/b1e94909-bb0b-4e10-83a0-cd7812dfe073/
Additionally about GPP.
Hope this helps.

Just having a read, don't you just have to have a Windows 2008 with GPP (which we do) and make sure computers with XP have KB943729?

Yes , You can use GPP If you are having window server 2008 in your domain.
But legacy Client systems like window xp's Client side extensions will not be supported in GPP by default. So You need to download upgraded CSE and install it on all the windows XP systems.
Check the Pre-requisites of GPP in below link,.

Hi,
Thank you for the post.
If you have not Windows 2008 server, you could also deploy GPP on Vista or Windows 7 with RSAT and GPMC.
