When you set the local administrator password to be changed at next logon, a message box pops up and asks the user if they want to change this password. They can choose "yes" or they can choose "no".

If they choose "no", they easily bypass this security feature and never change the password. In my environment we lease boxes to users and we want to force the local administrative password change. Is there a registry hack that can be added to do something like disable the "no" button so they have to choose 'yes' and change the password.

any other ideas would be appreciated as well.
 
Give them a local account and add that account to the local administrators group, impliment a password policy MCSE NT4 MCSA 2000/XP CCNA CCDA
