Managing password resets for local admin

Not sure exactly where to post this thread, so please move, if necessary. Here's my problem:

I work for a large company with offices all over North America. We have hundreds of printers and scanners. I have proposed to the security team that we come up with a password policy for these devices. The issue is that the sheer scale of the password update project is massive (from my own, inexperienced perspective). Updating the local admin password on all these devices will take significant man hours. I haven't found a solution online to possibly script the changes and send commands through SSH/PuTTY, or something over the network. The closest I found was someone who had created a VBS script, but it won't work in our environment. Do any of you have experience here that could share your process? I'm praying there's a nice, convenient way to centrally manage the passwords, but I have come up empty so far.

 

admin password?

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.

Managing password resets for local admin

Without knowing how things are integrated, if they are, or how they are, especially for current access control privileges and restrictions, you're really at odds for deploying anything useful to your managed infrastructure.

Maybe you can work with one of the security division's engineers to obtain that information if you have reached a level of trust and the task for what you're doing is something you should be officially taking care of. In that case, you need to be at least privy to what solutions are being utilized for user account management, security, and access, what third party print management service(s) are in-use, etc.

The issue here is if you're access is limited, your knowledge of the infrastructure and deployed solutions is limited, it'll be nigh impossible to provide a consistent usable solution that will even work for your site's needs and requirements. That puts you at a major disadvantage, so hopefully you can work with someone that does have that knowledge.

As I suggested above with printers, sounds like unless the software can moderate access on the default admin/access account, you'll be faced with manual access of each device to manage them appropriately. At which point doing what I suggested above might make sense, it also might help to task an individual at each site with taking care of this task to break it down into manageable chunks.

Some devices allow or offer centralized management, but not knowing if what your site has deployed all are able to use that or if the third party management for printers and scanners is merely for access control, print count limitation, etc. or if it also allows device account modifications as well again leaves you at a disadvantage.

In security, knowledge is key. You have to know how a site is deployed, managed and ultimately used. Without that knowledge coming up with an appropriate account management solution that you can actually execute beyond a written proposal won't happen. I am curious exactly what they expect from you here if anything beyond a written proposal or maybe they want you to find out what they already know?

Either way, sounds like you need to know more about what you're working with to get to the end result you seek in an appropriate fashion. *Toast :toast:
