For new user: We can change local admin password through Bigfix.
net user
Example:
net user administrator aDy%E35@w$
net user dell aDy%E35@w$
We can add multiple username in single batch file, save it in .bat and create task via Software Distribution Wizard. Hope this is helpful .
I would recommend against this method. As a Software Distribution Task, those passwords are still in a file that has been uploaded to your server, and might be readable by other BigFix operators. It might also be downloadable from other clients.

Hi Jason,
I believe this is one of the older better options?
https://bigfix.me/cdb/fixlet/3670
i have used this in the past, but modified it slightly to ensure the details are not logged in the client log file…
added “Action log command” as the first line of the action, and “Action log all” as last line
Is there a better way than this, and still keeping it simple?
Thank you

Yes, that’s a better method. With Secure Parameters, the password is encrypted and only readable by that specific client machine.
