local adminstrative account passwords

[wuzzle]

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

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
