Sure, that make goods sense to me but I keep hearing about "lockup" and that Exchange will fail to run. I guess what I don't understand is how this would happen? If there is no password lockout set, what is the problem? Right?

Look at it this way; it's a great way for you to document all the non-Exchange and non-authorized uses of that account. Exchange will take care of itself leaving only the rest of the world to complain that they can no long log in. Then you can clean it up. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Monahon, Gregory" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2001 11:19 AM Subject: Changing service account passwords > Exchange 5.5 sp4+ W2K (multisite, 35 servers worldwide) > > All, > > I'm starting the legwork for this project.
