Synchronizing Local Passwords on Servers
We have 4 servers in our DMZ that have local accounts defined. Each server is accessed by a handful of developers. These machines are not part of a domain just a workgroup. When our users need to change their password on one machine, they need to change their password on the other 3 as well manually.
Is there a way for users that exists locally on each of the servers to be sync'd without the use of a domain account.
Any creative ideas or ways to help make this process more efficient?

Best to use a script. See: http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=6378

How can I reset the local administrator password on several workstations from the command line using as few commands as possible?

I want to be able to have the end users themselves change and synchronize their passwords. This is something admins will not be doing anymore.

Having end users have the ability to run this tool in this way would allow them the ability to change anyone's password as well as administrators password as they require administrative rights to run the utility. How can this be a viable solution. Just as an individual has the right to change their own password, but not others, this is HUGE security risk.
I don't recommend anyone do this. Any other ideas
