Changing service account password
In the past we had Exchange 5.5 and had an admin service account for it
We have now finished migrating all exchange 5.5 users to exchange 2003 sp1 and are in native mode.
All our exchange 2003 servers are installed using the admin account.
Can I change the password of the admin account will it effect any services or anything else in exchange 2003

I dont know if there is any script for this.
As explained by dvrdn, you can go to service tool from control panel-> Administrative tools-> Services. Here you can sort the column 'Log on As" to list the service accounts for each service installed. Here you can find the account responisible for controlling eacth service.
Or
The user name and password of the service account are specified at the time the service is installed. SCM stores the user name in a REG_SZ registry value named ObjectName within the Registry key of the individual service (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM

I am aware of going into services on each server and checking. I was looking for more of a script just check if any server in our domain has the admin account attached to the service. As we have 65 servers it would be can hard to go one by one.
I guess there isnt. Thanks for your input
