This solution is only available to members.

Why would anyone in their right mind use a cleartext script with a password in it to change passwords? Basically defeats the purpose of the password in the first place IMHO.
The script can be encoded.
I prefer to take advantage of group policy, that's what its there for. :-)
Yes the scripts can be encoded but I like the safety with preferences

Are passwords in preference items secure?
Passwords in Group Policy preference items are protected using 256-bit AES encryption. In the XML source code of a preference item, the password does not appear as clear text; it is encrypted. The client reads the XML, decrypts the password, and implements the configuration.
Thanks

You need either Vista or Windows Server 2008, just run Group Policy management and follow the steps to create the GPO:
