New Password every month

[getndz]

Hello,

A user has cracked the local admin password on its XP PC.
Usually the users have no admin right on the PCs.
Now we want modify the local admin password once a month.
How could I do this, batch, script, policy....
There are about 500 users.

Thanks and regards

Yep, disable booting from CD in the bios on your desktops as well and enable a bios password.

If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

Also disable booting from USB.

renaming the account isn't going to do much, as users can generally at least see who's an admin on a local workstation.
