Hydra or network logon cracker for Windows?

Hello list, I am looking for a way to test the computers on my network for weak passwords. For instance, say I have the network (192.168.123.1-254) for company "Tomcat" and I know most people either login as "Administrator" (not the best I know but some battles are not worth fighting) or the convention of LastName + First Initial. I just want to be able to scan the network to make sure people aren't using the company name or a simple derivation of the company name as their password. Therefore, I just want to scan the user names on the network against a small list of passwords like Tomcat, Tomcat1, TomCat, TomCat1, tomcat, tomcat1 and so forth. If people are using the company name as the password I can have them change it. That's all I want. Is there a good (hopefully freeware but doesn't have to be) program out there to help me accomplish this task?
