Hmm... that's not a very secure method, and it wouldn't work for users that aren't local administrators of their workstations (which they aren't by default, and probably shouldn't be in order to prevent software piracy and help desk calls).
A better method would be to use Group Policy's Startup Scripts feature, and make sure you properly secure the directory in which the script resides. (Domain Computers would need read/execute access, but Domain Users should not have permissions). -----Original Message----- From: Lich, Brian M.

I am not sure where to download it off the top of my head. A Google search for cryptpwd.exe should work. Hope this helps...

I have found a way to crack this password, now I would like to change this at least every couple of days on all my machines. Is this a good idea? What are your thoughts?
