  Need sample Powershell script to change PWDS for SQL Server services (on many SQL Servers).

  We need to modify the SQL Server 'services' passwords (SQL Server, SQL Agent, IS, RS, AS) on several dozen SQL Servers.

  I am local admin and SQL sysadmin on every server - and I have all current service accts & pwds for each service across every server.

  Is there such a script which can do this?   Any feedback greatly appreciated.

  this google gets you a few hits https://www.google.com/search?q=powershell+change+sql+server+service+account&oq=powershell+change+sql+ser&aqs=chrome.0.0l2j69i57j0l4j69i60.7272j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

  but I advise you to use GMSA accounts instead of username/password - safer and you won't have to worry about them anymore.
