Change user password on multiple machines

[Guest Close Guest]

Hi,

I would like to change the local admin password (\\ComputerName\Administrator) on 25 computers at the same time.
Can this be done using Hyena?

Hmmm... probably should've done some reading before I posted...

I assume using CusrMgr (from the Windows 2000 Resource Kit) with a Hyena generated macro is the solution?
i.e choose the computers, and generate a macro such as <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">cusrmgr -u Administrator -m \\%E% -P NewPassword</span></span>.

Is this correct?

That is correct. Hyena will create the batch file with one line per selected computer and replace the variable with the computer name.

Isnt it quicker to highlight the machines that you want to change and then Right Click, Select "More Functions" and then "Set Account Password" ?
