Update service account password on multiple servers?

[wallst32]

Some of my service accounts are used on multiple servers (for example backups), and the password must be changed every so often. Is there any way to automate this process rather than re-entering user information on each server?

Thanks.

You might be able to use the command-line program sc to configure it. sc can change service settings on the local computer as well as remote computers. Type sc /? at a command prompt or search Help & Support for sc.

There is a password option on the config sub-command, so you might be able to do something like this:

sc \\servername config servicename password= newpassword
