Hi Lydia,

Don't forget about your antivirus running password if you have one.

It is obvious to me that I must change my network administrator's password
TODAY -- my "backup" employee has become a "bad seed." Anyone out there
have any hints about what order to do this in? My network is NT4 with two
brand new 2003 member servers, plus a W2K -- do I have to change the
password on all of the services on all of the systems? I know that I should
do this more often, but it is such a task...

TIA,

Don't forget to change the password in Windows Scheduler for the one that runs your Vantage backup!!! Luckily, I just needed to restore a new training DB from backup and found our backups not working!

Lydia

First off rename the administrator account to a common name like
Fred !! Change passwords. You should create another account that runs
all you scheduled services. That way you can change the password for
Fred anytime.
