Changing Local Admin with PowerShell
Friday, July 09, 2010 4:54 AM
( permalink)
I've played around with a coulple of PowerShell scripts to change the local admin on a group pc's but I haven't had 100% sucess. Out of 500 pc's 350 are updated. Most of what I've seen use the following code method. $admin=[adsi]("WinNT://" + $strComputer + "/administrator, user") $admin.psbase.invoke("SetPassword", "Whatever1")
What I get back from a csv report is Yes, No or not on because not able to ping.
My question is on some pc's it works fine but on others it doesn't.
Is there a better method of updating the local administrator account using Powershell? What are the requirements to run Powershell against a remote machine?
Thanks

Hi did you work this out? I think the only requirements to run powershell against a remote machine is that remote machine has no firewall, you can ping it and you are local admin on it.

Do all the machines have Powershell installed on them? If so, you could use Remoting to do it.
