At the risk of cross posting (I posted a similar question in the exchange 5.5 forum about the impact on Exchange)
I need to change my Admin passwords on all my NT4 servers. What will be the implication if any to other services apps etc. Anything I need to look out for here?

Local Admin Passwords?
Just make sure there are no services set to logon as admin. If so you will either have to change it to local system or make sure you change the service password to whatever you change the admin password to.

Verify if any scheduled jobs (Task)are running under admin...

Check for mapped drives...
 
Thanks Kenny
