A command line utility, ..\Win32app\Ingr\BATCH\bin\setpasswd.exe, is available to change Account Mapping passwords on remote computers (provided write access to remote registry is available). Using this utility, an administrator can change the passwords on all client computers from a single computer.

If you are using Windows Vista or any later versions of Windows operating system, you must use administrative privileges in the Command Prompt window to run this command line utility. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories. Right-click Command Prompt, and then select Run as administrator.

The command line syntax is:

setpasswd.exe servername domain account [password]

Where:

servername is the name of the remote computer

domain is the user domain name

account is the user name

password is the user name's password. The password as a command line argument is optional. If you do not specify the password, the utility will prompt you to type and then confirm the password. The password is invisible while typing it this way.

Error messages:

  • "ERROR: Access is denied." - No write permissions to remote registry.

  • "ERROR: The network path was not found." - A remote computer with the supplied servername cannot be found.

  • "ERROR: No mapping between account names and security IDs was done. - Incorrect domain and/or account names supplied.

  • "ERROR: The system cannot find the file specified." - No account mapping exists for the supplied user.

  • "ERROR: Overlapped I/O operation is in progress" - When you see this error, check all the above cases.

If the remote computer is running Windows Vista or any later versions of Windows operating system, members of the Administrators group do not get privileges to the registry by default. Contact Intergraph support for assistance.
