Precautions taken to disable domain adminstrator account and creating a new domain administrator account
Hi
We use windows 2008 AD.I want to change our domain\administrator password for security reasons.At the moment I am not sure which all services uses the domain\administrator account.
I am planning to create a new domain administrator name as Gadministrator with all domain\administrator privileges, then and disable the old domain\administrator account.
If any services fail I will create additional administrator privileges account and authenticate it rather than using the domain\Gadministrator
Please suggest, Is this a good idea or is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks
