Local administrator

Hello

I am looking into upgrading to windows 2008 and I would like to use the MAP
tool but I need to make sure all of of my local admin accounts are the same .

Is there a script to change the local administrator password on my 2003
servers so that they are all the same.?

I have over 200 servers to change it on.

thanks in advance

Hello JohnSp,

If you use a Vista or 2008 machine and install Client side extensions on
the 2003 servers you can use Group policy preferences for the password change
of the local admins:

Download and install RSAT on Vista/2008:

RSAT 32bit:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

RSAT 64bit:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Then open Control Panel, Programs and features, Turn windows features on
or off, check the tools you like under "Remote Server Administration Tools"

CSE 2003 32 bit:
