Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Good Friday to everyone, Is there a character limit on changing the local admin password using GP Preferences? I have created a Preference to change the local admin name and password. On some computers the name change on others it does not! The password isn't changing on any computers. Have anyone experienced issues using GP Preference to change local admin username and password?

Do you have any password complexities set, and does your new password meet them? I have not tried it myself but that was one thing that crossed my mind when I read your post. Martin T.

I'm not sure I would do that The password is encryped by AES and is stored in the GPO The key is stored in WindowS and we both use the same key Http://tinyurl.com/ybsm884 Best Regards ::John van Meter Never be afraid to try something new.
