Guest wuzzle Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Hi, We are requiring all adminstrative accounts to have expiring passwords. Is there a tool or script that I can run that will force all local administrative accounts passwords to reset or expire? All machines are windows. Thanks Mitch
Guest Marcin Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Re: local adminstrative account passwords Mitch, if your systems are members of an Active Directory domain, you can apply password policy (that would dictate password age) via Group Policy, but as long as the password is set not to expire for individual user accounts, that setting will take the precedence. If this does not meet your requirements, you might want to consider running on a scheduled basis a script that would modify pwdLastSet and PasswordExpired attributes of domain and local user accounts - as described in http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/jul05/hey0706.mspx hth Marcin "wuzzle" <wuzzle1@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:9b019209-4b56-4201-a8c3-812c4a73c193@n1g2000prb.googlegroups.com... > Hi, > > We are requiring all adminstrative accounts to have expiring > passwords.
