Hello,

A customer has domain joined Windows 10 client workstations containing Local User account "IT_Admin, which is a member of the Local Administrator group.

Domain Controller is running Windows Server 2016 Standard.

Customer would like to change the password for the IT_Admin account on each of the client workstations. Is there any way to do this using Group Policy or registry, or some native Windows solution? We'd like to avoid having to touch each PC if possible.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Rudy
