RE: Changing the Domain Administrator password - advice please


It is the same as changing a password on any other user account. The only
thing you have to be careful of is what services, scheduled jobs etc it might
be running. It looks like you have already considered this however.

One piece of advice is to use different accounts to run your services. This
would make this process easier in the future. Plus do the all services
really need to run with Domain Administrator privileges?

We need to change the domain administrator password. Can anyone provide
some advice on the best way to do this? We have a 2003 AD domain with 2 DCs
and 4 member servers. I know there are some services that are logging on
with the domain password that I need to track down.

Thanks!
