checkout RenameAdmin.exe on my webpage. It can change the password and rename the local administrator account on remote computers.
You can call it from a batch file using FOR to process many computers. code:
for /f %%i in (c:\ComputerList.txt) do c:\RenameAdmin.exe \\%%i NewName NewPassword
The NewName parameter can be the old name 'administrator' if you so desire.
All activity is written to a log file.
