Hi,

I have a Novell Netware network with Windows NT 4 clients. As I kind of inherited the network, the administrator passwords on all the machines are different. And sometimes very easy to guess!
Is there any way to remotely change the admin passwords on these machines?

Thanks in Advance,
Gary

CUSRMGR.EXE from the NT Resource Kit can change any password for any account on remote systems. So, if you have that you can use it.

Something else that will do it is Dameware NT Utilities. It is a GUI. You can connect to each machine individually, and change the passwords.

Both of these tools only work from a domain admin-logged in workstation. You gotta have power to do this.

hope this helps

thanks Joseph, but since we're a Novell house, all workstations are in a workgroup using Novell's Netware client to log in. The tools you mentioned need a domain to function properly. Do you know if there are any other apps to do the job??
