Re: changing domain administrator password

You shouldn;t be using the Administrator account for the running of any
services, this is a bad idea. When doing this you are providing the service
with full power to the domain. If someone has applications that use this
app they may then (Easily) take control of the account and elevate their own
account or use the service to do activities they shouldn't have the power to
do.

I would change the password and if something breaks review and parr back the
power to what the account actually needs.

hello,

I wanted to know which considerations i have to take in order to change
administrator password.
I'm asking because i know some services can depend on the administrator
user.

for example . the restore option in exchange. msql, maybe 3rd party
softwares.
and other software which depend on it , and which i used the account
during
their installation.

thanks
