Go to the site object in Exchange admin, change it in the Properties of the site object. This starts a process that will change the service account for exchange in that site.

Re: Changing the Exchange Admin. Password (Service Account Passwo rd)
Depends on the connector in use between the sites. If anything other than the native MTA, no problem. If the MTA, communication will fail until the sites level out. If you do all three at the same time, you'll get bindback failures for about 15-20 minutes, then all will be well. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 12:00 PM Subject: RE: Changing the Exchange Admin.
