You can also us the net dom command and create a batch file like this:
- create a text file containing all of the computers you want to perform the task on remotely
- use the following command below to rename the computers

Hi romari,
by doing that batch script which contains "net user administrator (p455w0rd)"
is it actually applied to the Computers domain or do you have to create custom OU and create GPO and make it as Startup script applied to the computer ?

-create folder and copy cusrmgr to this folder.
-create in this folder file name it " change.bat"
-computer list should be placed in a file call it " names.txt"
replace 12345678 in the script with your password
--------------------------
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.Fi
Set objoutputFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile ("change.bat", 2)
Set objinputFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile ("names.txt", 1)
Do Until objinputFile.AtEndOfStream
strComputer = objinputFile.Readline
objoutputfile.writeline ("cusrmgr -u Administrator -m \\"&strComputer&" -P 12345678 ")
Loop
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shel
objShell.Run _
("%comspec% /K title Change PWD |change.bat"), _
1, TRUE
