Windows 10: Is there a way to change the passwords to a group of PCs in an AD domain?

Wondering if there is any way to do this. My staff support a small organization with roughly 1600 PCs. We are a public office, so we have about 200 "kiosk" PCs where the public can come in and look up information using very locked down desktops. The PCs are all running either Windows 7 or Windows 10. (We're pushing a Win 10 migration later this year.)


One of our security policies is that all AD passwords must be changed every 90 days. So, every 90 days, the users change their passwords. This also takes place for our mainline applications. (Most are not tied into AD yet.)


For the 200 kiosks, my techie staff have to head out and manually change each PC's password. Is there a way using AD or SCCM to select a group of users and change the password for those users?

Windows 10 E-mail App domain passwords

Hi Andreas,

To isolate your concern, please answer these questions:

• Are you using a Microsoft account when you log in to your computer?
• Is it the same as the account that's in the Mail app?

Depending on your domain, you may need to look into the configuration of the Outlook so it will not ask you to provide your password every time you use it.

We also suggest that you change the password stored in your Outlook each time your domain password is changed.

Looking forward to your reply.
