Changing the Enterprise Admin Password

[Guest lovemail]

I have an old Windows 2000 SP4 Domain and I would like to change the

Original Enterprise Admin Username and Password.

 

1. Will this give my Enterprise Admin a new SID?

 

2. Will this effect my domain in any way?

 

Thanks.

Hello lovemail,

 

1. No

 

2. I would check if the name is used as a service account or for anything

else and would also change the name after renaming the account.

 

Best regards

They only have two scheduled tasks that check the raid(Not Mission

Critical) and I will change these to the new Username and password.

 

I have two servers that are up and running using the Enterprise Admin

account. This is the account they use to keep the servers going. If I

change the Username and password of this account (Original Admin

Account) will these servers stop working? Or will they work until

their next reboot, and then the new users name and password will work.

If I change this password and move services or applications that must

be started into the start on boot mode.(Right now after the server

reboots the enterprise admin account is used to login and start some

applications, we check some settings, then we lock the console).

 

These services and applications after being placed to start on boot

up should start after the server reboots without the need for a login.

Right? I guess I would use the new enterprise admin username and

password to set these applications and services to run.

 

If this is the case an an employee, like an auditor needs to check

some of the services to do reports, can he use a lower level

administrator(Like Account Operator or Domain Admin to check open some

of these the services and their accompanied application to check some

settings?
