Dear friends I have installed sharepoint 2007 using an account in AD, It is now a system account in MOSS, I want to change that system account with some other account in AD, How is it possible? Kind regards SharePoint 2007 (Administration/Development) Web developer and .NET DTS Programmer .NET Framework 2.0/3.5 SQL Server 2008/2005/2k

Hi, Installing MOSS 2007 in a farm environment requires a few dedicated accounts and can be quite a confusing process. To change the system account as you mentioned, run the following command on your server, and if you have multiple servers, run it on all the servers that make up your farm from this path below: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Bin> stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin YourDomainName\YourNewServiceAccountFromAD -password YourDomainName\YourNewServiceAccountFromADpassword -identitytype configurableid NEXT RUN: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Bin> stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs Hope this helps you.

Thanks for the guide, One more question plz, Do u think after all that i need to change the service accounts too. Like by going to OPERATIONS>SERVICE ACCOUNTS in Central Administration? Will that be necessary ? cheersSharePoint 2007 (Administration/Development) Web developer and .NET DTS Programmer .NET Framework 2.0/3.5 SQL Server 2008/2005/2k

Hi, No you don't have to. SharePoint gives you two(2) ways to get the job done (like every MS product does). If you observe the syntax I gave you and you compare it with the path you gave me i.e Operations>Service Accounts, you will observe its the same thing .
