You can encrypt the traffic on your network by enabling IPSEC and using Certs.

Does this help you in anyway? -JMB | -----Original Message----- | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 12:03 PM | To: [email protected] | Subject: Changing local admin PW using vb logon | script - can it be encrypted? | | Hi all, | | Long time lurker, first time poster. We have | roughly 500 computers that we'd like to change the | local admin passwords on. We realize the security | risks of having 1 password on all of our computers | and are willing to assume that risk. We've | developed a VB script that we can implement as a | logon script that works perfectly to change the | password. We do not want this script sent along as | clear text if we can avoid it. Is there any way we | can encrypt this script? | | We've looked at options such as using Windows | permissions to either deny Domain Users access | (preventing anyone from reading the script) or | allowing only Domain Computers Read Only | access...however I think that if you are logged into a | local computer you should be able to read the | script. Not to mention, if you could capture the | packets, you could easily find the script and its | contents so permissions would matter at all in that | scenario. | | Any help and/or insight is greatly appreciated. | | Best, | ...tom | | ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
