Something else to watch out for is all the Exchange-related products. Exchange Service account may have been used as a service account for your AV, backup, content filtering etc products (this is a bad practice in general). Also, if you run Mailbox Manager, remember to change the password for that service manually. When you make the change within Exchange admin, it doesn't update the logon information for the Mailbox Manager service.
Good luck, S. -----Original Message----- From: Hansen, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 9:50 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Oh crap. Need to change service account password. 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.
