Thank for the offer but I have created the users using an import with
LDIFDE and wrote a script that changes the passwords to a random complex
password.

Subject: RE: Utility to set random passwords?


I recently wrote a perl program that takes an addusers export file and
populates it with passwords consisting of random characters. If you
haven't
already created the user accounts, you can use my code along with
addusers.exe (NT4 resource kit, but works with AD too).

Subject: Utility to set random passwords?


Does anyone know of a utility that can set random passwords for a large
number of domain accounts at one time? I need to be able to specify
complex password and password length in the utility if one exists.

The reason: We are setting up a Cisco IP Phone system and the voice mail
system uses Exchange as the store for the voice messages. By design it
is unified with the users mailbox so their voice messages get delivered
to their inbox. The decision has been made that we don't want it to work
that way, not my decision, our way to do it is to setup a second mailbox
for each person that will be their voice mail box. I can use ldifde to
setup the 770 accounts but they are created without a password. I could
then reset the password on each account but then I know the password
which means they all must be changed if I ever leave the firm.

Any ideas of how I can do this?
