samba - Nov 2002 - Change administrator password remotely with Samba?

Hi,

I need to change the local administrator password on a number of Windows 
2000 machines in our network. I would like to do this automatically from 
our FreeBSD server. Is it possible to use Samba for this? Of course, the 
  passwords are known.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Sven

Use smbpasswd:

smbpasswd -r SERVER -U Administrator

If SERVER is a domain controller this will change the domain
administrator password.  If SERVER is a domain member then the local
administrator password will be changed.
