Windows

Now, if you want to change the Local Administrator password on each server (since each WinNT Server has its own local Administrator which is different from the Domain Administrator account), there are a few approaches you can take.
1) You can go toeach server, open up User Manager, make sure the local machine is selected (so you only see the local machine accounts instead of the domain accounts), and change the password there.
2)You could use a product I like called Dameware NT Utilities. Itwill let you connect to each machine remotely, and modify their local user accounts. So, you could run Dameware, sit at your desk, and bring up each server's user list. You can then select the local Administrator account on each server and change the password. Dameware can be found at www.dameware.com

There are probably other applications out there that can do this, as well as Resource Kit tools, but these are just off the top of my head.

hope this helps
