Changing UserAccountControl Attribute To Require Password Change

$

I was looking for stale computer accounts within our domain using the PasswordLastSet date when I discovered hundreds of computer objects with the useraccountcontrol value of 4128 (WORKSTATION_TRUST_ACCOUNT and PASSWD_NOTREQD)  instead of the usual 4096 (WORKSTATION_TRUST_ACCOUNT) value.

Most of these computers were part of a migration from another domain but many were created recently.

I would like to require all computers maintain a secure password with the domain so I could discover stale computer objects. I created a script which could make that change but I am unsure of any negative consequences that might result.

Have you had experience changing this useraccountcontrol value? What would you advise?

Thanks!
