Password reset for bulk users in window 2008 AD

Hi

We use windows 2008 AD and i have created 150 users in aspecific OU. Is it possible to reset the passwords of all 150 users at a time, rather than right clicking individual user and reseting the password. Any tutorials much appreciated.

thanks

I would rather use Microsoft DS Tools available on any Domain Controller. Just check that running below command in command-line on a DC

dsquery user "ou=OULocation,dc=domain,dc=local" -name * -limit 0 | dsmod user -pwd InitialPassword -mustchpwd yes -canchpwd yes -disabled no

Open in new window

and all users should have changed password to initial. During the first logon they need to change it according to your domain password policy
