You know some days I really like this job, and other days I really hate it. Apparently my boss in his infinite wisdom decided it would be wise to give a bunch of people that know nothing about Exchange the service account password. A result of this was the deletion of several mailboxes and one IMS connector. Needless to say I was nowhere around at the time, perhaps if I had been I would have been able to put a stop to this. So it looks like I need to change my service account password and not tell my boss what it is. So I'm making a checklist of where the password gets used. Obviously all the MS Exchange services. Is there any other place where I will need to type in the new password? Any other concerns I should have in doing this? Help most appreciated.
