what's the fastest way to change datasource passwords for an entire farm of servers in coldfusion?

Question

The question says it all: I want to change information about datasources on multiple coldfusion servers. Can this be scripted? Ideally, a solution would work on both CFMX 6.1 and CF8

Answer 1

Can you use the API cfc's for version 8

With 6.1 I think you are out of luck. It stores the password in an XML file somewhere I believe, you'd have to read it in change it and save. That would work for both versions.
