How to change an Administrator password on your Project Server 2007 Farm?

  • Article

Thanks to a colleague of mine, here is how to do it using STSADM (all the PS 2007 Service Accounts were using the same account):

1. Change the account password

2. Open a command line prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)

3. Change directory wherever STSADM has been installed, typically:

Ø cd "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN"

4. Execute the following two command:

Ø stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin DOMAIN\user -password NEWPASSWORD

Ø stsadm -o updateaccountpassword -userlogin DOMAIN\USER -password NEWPASSWORD –noadmin

Ø IISRESET

 

5. Reboot the server
