Re: Which Services get affected by admin password change?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I changed both my password and name of the administrators account and that
didnt affect my default, 2 years in use, installation of SBS2003 R2 Premium.
Everything workes fine, just like the others say, nly if you installed
something out of the ordinary using administrator will have problems.

Your server based anti-virus console?
BE is the only one besides anti-virus that causes problems. On the
other hand if someone set up SQL to use the administrator account then
you need to change that. I just sort Log On As in the Services console
to see if any services logon with the administrator account.

Client wants to change the administrator password on the server.

I know that my Veritas Backup Exec services need to be changed to that
new password also.

Any other services that I am forgetting that also need to be changed?
