Event error 8026 after domain password change

Hi,

I have a windows server 2003 server running Exchange 2003 on a domain. After changing the domain admin password that we use to log onto servers, run backups etc...I have been receiving an event error 8026 every couple of minutes in my event log. The error is as below

LDAP Bind was unsuccessful on directory mail.hsfc.hpoolsfc.ac.uk for distinguished name 'HSFC\NT4ADMIN'. Directory returned error:[0x31] Invalid Credentials.   (Connection Agreement 'Config CA_HSFC_MAIL' #2916)

It is obviously the change of password that has caused this error but I am not sure what is trying to use it, any ideas?

Thanks

There's probably an easier way...open Services on the server(s) and and see if what servers are using the Admin credentials to startup.  Look under the "Log on as" column.

I have looked under services and the only service running as the account mentioned is Microsoft Active Directory Connector, which I have now changed to use new credentials. I am still getting the same error!!!

Any ideas??
I found the solution, it wasn't a service that was using the account. For some reason the mail server did not recognise itself as a DC and so I was getting the error message stated!
thank you for the points
