The expensive solution is to have a tool, NetIQ does a great job. There are
other ways though, have a VB or PERL script that enumerates the systems in a
domain and sets the admin password, I know it can be done, that's all NetIQ
does under the hood. I think that one or another of the script repositories
has a script that will do this. I know that login scripts are a BAD place
to change the local admin password, it takes local admin rights to do so,
and I would hope that all of your users aren't local admins! As for
changing the domain admin password, you should be able change it just fine,
so long as you didn't do anything stupid such as make services run as that
account.

I have tried but it has been unsuccesful, maybe microsoft in it's infinite
wisdom decide against allowing such actions becuase of the possible security
risks it could impose however when I set up a new worstation or server I set
the local admin password to be the same as the Domain password. Have not had
a reason to change the domain password yet and I shutter to think about
having to do so.
