     My concern would be about a laptop in the field, if it needed admin
    rights, and no member of the admin group had cached credentials on it,
    how then would you get admin access to it?
    An isolated case I know, but we always have to keep an eye out for those
    "gotchas".
    I guess an answer to my own question would be to log each password
    deployed to each host?

    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.
