Hello all,

For security reasons we are planning to change our domain
admin password. We have a windows 2000 domain with a
number of DC's and Exchange servers. Anyone have any
experience in this matter that they can give? For
instance, any guidelines we should follow, implications,
or advice?

Thanks in advance.
