Change Domain A/C password of SQL Server Services

  • We are facing some Network problems and we decided to change all the Domain A/Cs passwords and we are running All the SQL Server services on Domain a/c.Could you tell me, Do I need to refresh the all SQL Server services after the changes?.

  • Yes as the service actually has the password typed into it. You will need to change the password and then restart the service.

    The thing I am not sure about is whether the service will keep running with the old password until you change it. I believe that it will however, as soon as you stop the service it will not start again until the password is changed. Someone else could verify that to be true...

    Hope this helps.
