I currently have about 100 (mixed) NT Workstations and
2000 Professional Workstations in our environment. The
administrators password is different or blank on all these
PC's. What is the best approach to automatically change
these exsisiting admin's passwords to a secure default one
that we choose. Let me add that the 100 pc's are spread
among 1500 Win98 PC's so we really dont know the location
of these workstations. We also dont use any Windows login
scripts, however we do use Novell login scripts and NAL.
Any ideas?
