It's fine for you to change the domain admin password. &nbsp;If there is a separate exchange admin password then you can change that too. &nbsp;If there are 2 then i would change one at a time and leave it a day in between the 2 changes, but you'll be fine.

I have been wanting to change the domain admin pw for a while now. Also, I wanted to change the pw on the exchange admin user. &nbsp; This network has been pieced together by others and I'm concerned about things not working and/or services not starting. &nbsp;Is there &nbsp;tool or function/command that can possibly do a sweep and let you know what services on the server and nw resources(other servers and the apps they are running like sql, etc) would be affected by this change that need to be updated also. <br />
<br />
I know this is a pie in the sky type question probably. <br />

Thanks,<br />
