Changing local administrator password through computer management snap in
We are running various flavors of server 2003 and our administrator recently left our company. he did not leave us with teh local administrator passwords on a few servers. I know you can change the password through the computer management snap in, but it gives you the very scary message about the problems that may arise form doing it this way. Does ayone know what are the potential risks of doing this? I have done it before and not had any problems, but this could affect quite a few servers and don't want to have any problems down the road due to this.

Those are the usual suspects :-)
You'll want to confirm that no services run under the administrator account. Any that do will also have to have their password changed.
Ideally, you'll set up services to run under their own separate account.
