You got me :). Cusrmgr is still the way to go, though. You can do it in batch
file as a one-off thing, looping through an input file containing your
computernames.
Or go the ADSI route, with something like:
computername = "thatcomputer"
Set chgPass = GetObject("WinNT://" & computername & "/Administrator, user")
chgPass.SetPassword "thePassword"
chgPass.SetInfo
Either way, to make it a constant process, you will have to store the pass
somewhere. I'll think of something more elegant.

Unless I'm mistaken everyone has read access to that share, so you're
effectively exposing your local admin password to anyone who cares to
take a look.
