I wanted to share something that I put together, And I found it very useful.

I found this URL, and used it to create this task

The Task will add an “Administrator” account and fail if it already exists. I do this incase the Administrator account was renamed or deleted. Then it resets the “Administrator” password. I create several log file while running hponcfg and then delete them at the end of the task, these could be commented out and then read after

the see if it succeeded or failed
