You can change them remotely.
Changing them via GPO simply means that the password will have to reside locally on the system, and there's no reason for that...

Sergio,
That is the approach we are going to take. Write a script to run at
start up to delete all local accounts, except administrator, which
only we should know the password for.
Do you have any ideas on how to change local account passwords via GPO
or remotely? We would like to change the administrator passwords
initially, and probably like to change it on a continual basis.
Thank you.
Joe
