wmi - Using Powershell and ADSI to set local passwords -

i'm trying automate setting bunch of local user accounts' password on windows 2008 server. i've tried few things , works if don't use variable username this:

 $user = [adsi]"winnt://$computer/someusername" 

my script block below... ideas i'm doing wrong?

$accounts = get-content c:\userlist.txt $computer = somecomputername $password = "mypassword" foreach($account in $accounts) {  $user = [adsi]"winnt://$computer/$account"  $user.setpassword("$password")  $user.setinfo() } 

the error when use $account variable user (from text file list) is:

the following exception occurred while retrieving member "setinfo": "the group name not found. 

thanks help...

it seems machine tries resolve $account value local group name.

you can specify user object want, following account name comma , string user:

$user = [adsi]"winnt://$computer/$account,user"
