Enabling Local Admin Account on Vista and Win7 via Group Policy OR Script
I'm trying to find a solution that will enable the local admin account on our new windows vista and 7 machines. So far... I'm not having any luck with this solution: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winserverGP/thread/b1e94909-bb0b-4e10-83a0-cd7812dfe073
The script doesn't actually "enable" the account. I wondered if there was something I could add to the script that would change this or do I need to run a bat file separately to run "net use administrator /active:yes"?

strComputer = "."
Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Administrator,user")
objUser.SetPassword "NEW.PASSWORD" ' Enter new password between brackets
objUser.SetInfoSOLUTION
