MORE INFORMATIONTo change the passwords for service accounts in SharePoint
Server 2007 and in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, follow these
steps. Note If the SQL Server service uses a domain account, and the password
for that domain account is either expired or invalid, make sure that you update
the password for the domain account before you perform this procedure.
| 1. | Update the password for the account that is used by the
Central Administration application pool. To do this, follow these steps:
| a. | On all servers in the server farm, open a command
prompt, type the following line, and then press ENTER: cd %commonprogramfiles%\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\12\Bin | | b. | On the server that hosts the Central Administration Web
site, type the following line at the command prompt, and then press ENTER: stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin DomainName\UserName -password NewPassword | | c. | On all other servers in the server farm, type the
following line at the command prompt, and then press ENTER: stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin DomainName\UserName -password NewPassword -local | | d. | Restart Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)
6.0. To do this, type the following line at the command prompt, and then press
ENTER: iisreset /noforce |
| | 2. | Verify that the Administration Application Pool Credential
Deployment job definition is no longer displayed on the Timer Job Definitions
page of SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration. To do this, follow these steps:
| a. | Open SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration, click
Operations, and then click Timer job
definitions under Global Configuration. | | b. | Verify that the Administration Application Pool
Credential Deployment job definition is no longer displayed in the list.
Note If the Administration Application Pool Credential Deployment job
definition is displayed in the list, wait until it disappears from the
list. |
| | 3. | Update the password for the application pool account that
is used by Web applications on the server farm. To do this, type the following
line at a command prompt on every server on the server farm, and then press
ENTER: stsadm -o updateaccountpassword -userlogin DomainName\UserName -password NewPassword -noadmin | | 4. | Update the password for the account that is used to run the
Windows SharePoint Services Help Search service. To do this, type the following
line at a command prompt on every server on the server farm, and then press
ENTER: stsadm.exe -o spsearch -farmserviceaccount DomainName\UserName -farmservicepassword NewPassword | | 5. | Update the password for the default content access account
that is used by the Windows SharePoint Services Help Search service. To do
this, type the following line at a command prompt on every server on the server
farm, and then press ENTER: stsadm.exe -o spsearch -farmcontentaccessaccount DomainName\UserName -farmcontentaccesspassword NewPassword | | 6. | If you are running SharePoint Server 2007, you must also
follow these steps:
| a. | Update the password for the account that is used by
every Shared Services Provider (SSP) on the server farm. To do this, type the
following line at a command prompt on every server on the server farm, and then
press ENTER: stsadm.exe -o editssp -title SharedServicesProviderName -ssplogin DomainName\UserName -ssppassword NewPassword | | b. | Update the password for the account that is used to run
the Office SharePoint Server Search service. To do this, type the following
line at the command prompt, and then press ENTER: stsadm.exe -o osearch -farmserviceaccount DomainName\UserName -farmservicepassword NewPassword | | c. | If the server farm is configured to use single sign-on,
update the password for the account that is used by the Microsoft Single
Sign-On Service. To do this, follow these steps:
| 1. | Click Operations in SharePoint 3.0
Central Administration, and then click Service accounts under
Security Configuration. | | 2. | Under Windows service, click
Single Sign-On Service. | | 3. | Under Configurable, specify the
password, and then click OK. |
| | d. | Update the password for the default content access
account that is used by the Office SharePoint Server Search service. To do
this, follow these steps:
| 1. | Open SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration, and
then click the link to the SSP Web application under Shared Services
Administration. | | 2. | Under Search, click Search
settings, and then click Default content access
account. | | 3. | Specify the password to use for the content access
account, and then click OK.

update the password. Stop the service when the operation is complete. Method 2: Add the database access account to the local administrators group Add the database access account to the local administrators group of each
computer in the farm that has an online search instance. Log on by using that
account, and then update the password by using the stsadm command. When this
operation is complete, remove the database access account from the local administrators group
of each computer. Back to the top REFERENCESFor more information about how to use the Stsadm.exe
