AFAICT, the attachment mentioned above isn't available to download from the mailing list archive. Please could you direct me to where I can find a copy please? Have checked source4/scripting/bin, but not sure the file name and doesn't appear to be in master, would it be in a specific branch?

I need to write a test before it can get into master (or co-opt Gary into doing it ;-) There is also a mymachinepw script there, but that would only work on the AD DC, not on a member server.
