Changing Administrator password on a Windows 2008 web server
- by Nick
I've just taken over the administration of a Windows 2008 web server from a previous employee on a temporary basis. I need to change the Admin password as soon as I can but I've noticed that quite a few of the services also run under this account. So:
Is there a quick way to find out
which services will be affected by
me changing the password or is it a
question of going down the list?
It doesn't seem right to me that the
Admin account is used in this manner;
should I create a different account for these services, or is
using the Admin a/c standard
practice?
I realize everyone's servers /
networks are set up differently, but
are there any other items I should
be aware of when changing the Admin
password?
Thanks
