I have installed a webfarm MOSS 2007 using a service account. Currently all the Services and Web Applications are running on the same account. As per best practices, I came to know that separate accounts need to be used for services and Web applications. Please guide me on how to split out service accounts without impacting the functionality. Thanks, Kishore

Hi Kishore, You should be able to do so without affecting the environment. Read these articles out: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934838 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263445(office.12).aspx Hope this helps. BlueSky2010

Thanks BlueSky2010. Also when I ran the following command, Service Account for both Central Administration App Pool and Windows Sharepoint Services Timer service got changed. "%commonprogramfiles%\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\12\BIN\Stsadm.exe" -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin <username> -password <*******> May I know if both CA App Pool and Windows Sharepoint Services Timer service will run on same account? Did a Google search and found the following articles. http://objectmix.com/sharepoint/298229-whos-running-central-administration.html http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288991(office.12).aspx
