How does one propose to deploy a different password to each admin
account on all computers in the network automatically?
Anyone know of a script that will read a text file of computer names,
connect to it, randomize some password using specific criteria such as 7
chars, must use upper, lower, alpha...etc , then move on to the next
one.

Everybody have a solution to the problem, yet nobody seems to think
a step ahead :-)
If you use the same password for all the local admin accounts, when
anybody with physical access to one computer and john-the-ripper has
immediate access to all of them!
Whatever tool you use for setting passwords make sure that you set
*different* passwords for different hosts.
