I need to change everyones password on the last day of the month, every month. I can do this in domain controllers but will this change the Administrators passord? I really can't be changing the Administrators password monthly.

You can use the Domain GPO (though I would recommend creating a new one specifically for this so you can trace any issues) and in the OU where the Domain Admin Account resides (something other than the default is always a smart first move) you can block the GPO inheritance. Technet has some great articals on GPO configuration and management... get some reading done there and you'll be amazed at the evil you can wreak upon your network!!!!
