I installed windows 2000/XP for all client PCs, how can I remote change (instead of logon on each PC, then change it) all of these PCs' local administrator password? Is there some tools can be used to change password remotly and periodically.
 
Have you tried using the Local Users & Passwords snap in for MMC?

I know you can set passwords for normal users with this snap-in, although I am not sure if it will let you specify a new password for the administrator account... James Goodman MCP
 
James's suggestion will work if the domain user has local administrator access.
