Hi,
Are there any other repercussions for changeing the domain administrator
password other than services that depend on that password not starting (for
instance, would it cause other problems for Exchange)? I am talking about
the domain admin password that was used during the domain creation.
Thanks a million,
Allie

Any services, scheduled tasks, etc that utilize it will need to be changed.

Otherwise (actually, notwithstanding) you *should* change this and all
domain passwords periodically - and the domain administrator account
password would probably be better very long and complicated and only pulled
out of a locked safe in case of an emergency - using other accounts to
manage your domain with accountability per administrator.
