Talked to MS already but they don't see beyond Exchange. (simple, just change it and let it replicate) I've inherited a very old and mismanaged system. Everyone knows the service account and it probably used in a variety of differant ways attaching to the Exchange system. Does anyone know of any utilites to interrogate where and how the service account is being used. I know this can be a horror show so I want to make sure I have as many bases covered as possible.
