I have over 200 windows 2000 pc with local passwords all different.

What is the simplest and easy way to change it all them from one desk top.

Please exaplain step by step

A startup script.

Create a GPO that has all of these computers within its scope, and assign a
startup script that is a batch file that does this:

net user administrator newPassword

Reboot the machines and this will reset the password.

Both your and Paul's posts refer to "administrator" passwords. Would this
also work for "User" passwords? Could I also expire the password at the same
time?
 
Yes, these will work for users as well. I've not tried cusrmgr personally,
but believe that it is a generic tool -not a specific one for administrator
accounts (after all, administrator is just a user even if it does have a
well-known SID).

Be aware that -p and -P are different when using cusrmgr. One randomises
and one sets what you want ;)
