Remote change of passwords

[bwestlake]

Hi all,

 

We have our staff laptops off the domain and want to look at changing our admin account password, last time we did this we recalled the laptops to do so, don't want to go through that again!

Is there a way to change the passwords of these laptops remotely?

Thought of doing a script (we already have a scipt that runs at login) but the password would then be saved in plain text... anyone have any ideas?

Don't want to join them to the domain as we are looking at getting rid of staff laptops over the next year / two

Do your laptops get GPO's off network? If so then GPO's:
