One of the most serious threats to the Windows enterprise comes from using the same administrator password on every local system. This practice creates a vulnerability where a user could discover the common password, log on to one system with the credentials, and gain administrator access to every machine in the network. Or a disgruntled systems administrator could use the common account credentials to wreak havoc in the network. Windows environments are not truly secure without complex, unique local administrator passwords that are updated on a regular basis.
Frequently changing administrator passwords is a daunting task, but Random Password Generator, in the User Manager Pro Suite, simplifies the process. The product automatically updates every built-in local administrator account with a unique password that conforms to your organization’s security policy. You’ll be protected against unauthorized users gaining peer-level access to your enterprise, and the potential exposure of vital corporate resources. You’ll also be ensured of maintaining compliance with the mandates of Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and PCI, which require reasonable controls against the compromise of local logon credentials.
Changing Administrator Passwords
Random Password Generator can change the administrator passwords for every Windows system on your network in just a few minutes, without the need for scripting or any customizations. The frequency of randomization can be scheduled according to your organization's security best practices. Change successes and failures are audited, and failed changes are automatically retried. The cryptographically complex passwords can be set for up to 127 characters, and are secured within the host system. Delegated users can retrieve current passwords on demand using the Password Recovery Console component of the User Manager Pro Suite.
Random Password Generator, first released in 2001, is the most mature product in the privileged account password management market.
