How do I administer a computer without user password.
We have a small domain with ten sites and 1600 computers. How do we configure and troubleshoot computers for a local users without their password. Many things can be done through AD but there are many problems that arise that require accessing the computer through a user logon. We have done this in the past via RDP but if we do not have the password how is this achieved.
You can install a remote client like vnc on each computer

How does this allow me to troubleshoot the computer for problems that are user specific if I don't have the user's password. I can always change the password in AD and when finished with the problem change AD back to a new temporary password that requires the user to change it upon logon.
you can make an unattended installation (push) in a logon script with a single password for the service (no ad needed)
