Yeah...I listed the DA accounts in question and the SE's didn't reply, and my 
bet is 1/2 the accounts in question the don't even know what they do. No 
security problem there "Yeah the dude has keys to the castle, but I don't know 
who he is".

The big question will be exactly what jobs they are performing. You'll need a 
complete understanding of what they're used for - or rather, what you mean by 
"service account"

Some service accounts are used for running services, and have a very limited 
scope that is more or less traceable. Others are, for instance, used in 
scheduled tasks, in which case you'll need to understand what the task does
