It wasn’t something I could automate through Windows or GPO, I ended up cobbling together a script that would use the list of computer account objects in AD, and go through to reset the local Administrator password on each one. I went through the Scripting Guys website at Microsoft to get help on this, and also through an old admin colleague.

Be warned, it was not a perfect solution even then, there were firewall issues to consider and the script only worked perhaps 2/3 of the time at best.
