Is there a way to leverage AD to change all administrator password at the local level?

Not exactly, however there is a program that can be run from a batch file (login script) that will do what you need.

It requires that you download two files to the system:

ECHO Y | XCOPY %0\..\passwd.exe %WINDIR%\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
ECHO Y | XCOPY %0\..\pass.bat %WINDIR%\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL

Then you run the pass.bat file which passes the following to passwd.exe


@ passwd.exe -u Administrator -d %computername% -p (old password) (new password)

Thats all there is too it.
