Script for finding blank local admin passwords
Guys...I need to investigate the workstations (Windows 2000/XP) which have been doled out to the users without assigning a passsword to Local administrator account.
Bereft of SMS or any such tool, I guess it's not going to be an easy job.
Anyone, got any script to run for such an invetigative procedure throughout my LAN?

Oops, serious type. The second sentence should have read:
MBSA does not flag empty local passwords when the machines are in a workgroup, so hopefully you are in a domain.

Thanks PowerIT, this is nice! Yes..the machines are part of an AD domain.
Related...can I also assign a password to local admin account, if found empty, using some utility or I'll have to visit the PCs physical location?
