            We used a startup script via a GPO. Simply use the NET USER command to set the password. I created a CMD file and pointed the policy to it. If you ever need to change it, just change it in the file referenced by the GPO. Everyone will update at their next startup. We also added our helpdesk group to local admins through the same file using the NET GROUP command. One note: use a startup script instead of a logon script so it can't be seen by users. This can cause issues if people start machines off your network, such as remote laptops. Maybe someone else has a better solution for those machines.

            Hi all,
            
            One of my customers asks me how to change the password of all local administrators of Windows XP workstations. They don´t want to go to each one and change it because they are quite a lot and they need to put the same password to all. Is there any tool to do this?
            
            Thanks in advance!!
