Changing Domain Administrator Password : How can I find out what all servers / services are currently using this?

Good morning all,
I took over as IT director for the school district in my town about 2 years ago, and we've had some techs come and go, all of which have had the domain administrator password (not my call, but my fault for not changing it by now).  I am about to change
it, but before doing so I want to know how I can make sure what all this will break so I can quickly change the cached/saved password on whatever supporting services use this user/pass.
Can anyone help here?
Thank you!

Hello,
In my point of view if I were in this situation I would Change the domain administrator password. By
Resetting the domain administrators all the services which use domain administrator as their logon user, will lose their functionality. I had this experience and I did change the domain administrator password with no problem. However do not
forget to have a account lockout tool or script for locating the place where the account was locked out.
But to keep it short most of the time. lockout problems are arise from mapped drives, credential manager and saved RDP sessions and etc.
Regards.

  • How can I find out what extensions (not plugins) are currently installed using JavaScript?

    I am creating a JavaScript module which detects if a Firefox extension is installed in the client's browser.
    I can check if a Firefox plugin is installed by querying navigator.plugins object, but I can't figure out how to do this for extensions.

    You can't check for extensions that are installed.<br />
    Plugins can be detected via navigator.plugins as you posted, but you can't detect extensions for privacy and security reasons.

    It the past it was possible to check for images added by an extension, but that access was blocked.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.

  • HT201359 how can i find out what all the charges on my checking account are for?

    how can i find out what all the charges on my checking account are for?

    If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases - the most recent purchase is above the list. I'm not sure if that shows auto-renewing subscriptions (I don't have any so I can't check).
    If you can't find the charges and you haven't added or changed your card details on your account (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • How can I find out what kind of battery my computer uses in order to buy a replacement?

    I purchased a new Macbook Pro 13" in January 2012. Unfortunately, I did not purchase Apple Care. My trackpad seems to have taken on a life of it's own. I'm guessing this is due to a swollen battery. How can I find out what kind of battery my computer uses in order to buy a replacement?

  • How can I find out what port number my DB is using

    How would one find out what port number a database is using? Is there a SQL command that will allow us to do this?
    Thanks,
    oracle_newbie

    newbie
    Oracle databse assigns a dynamic port number for each established session. Usually, the common port is 1521 which is defined in you tnsnames.ora, however, this is used for requesting a dynamic port. Dynamic ports are within a ragne of 1000+. That's why it is hard to tell which port you are using at a certain time. You should have a network monitoring tool to check this accurately.

  • I'm dying to upgrade to Lion.  But I know some appls will no longer work.  I just switched from Quicken to iBank.  How can I find out what else I'm going to use?  Is there a way on system profile?  A specific 'kind' of application?

    Is there a way, in profiler? maybe to find out which programs I'll lose when i upgrade?  I've already switched from Quicken to iBank.  But I'd like to know in advance i I'm going to lose anything else important!

    Browse to the Mac page at http://roaringapps.com/. There you'll find hundreds (thousands?) of Mac applications listed with indications as to Lion compatibility.
    Surely, there's more to Lion compatibility than merely whether the app is "Intel" or "Universal", as opposed to "PowerPC" (as shown under Software > Applications in System Profiler).
    It's a bit surprising that nobody seems to have done an app that scans your system then looks up Lion compatibility at roaringapps.

  • How can you find out what number comment you are on within the comments list?

    Hi everyone,
    I have looked around but I cannot seem to find an answer to what seems a very simple request.
    I have a PDF with over a hundred comments on it and I am making (slow) progress through the comments list. I would like to estimate how long this job will take me to complete by looking at the time I have spent on the job and a which comment number I am at (e.g. I am currently at comment 60 of 120 - half way through).
    I cannot seem to find a way to do this without manually counting the number of comments I have been through already - which seems a watse of my time.
    Is there an easy way to do this? I am sure I am missing something simple here.
    Thanks in advance,
    twordz

    Sorry, I guess I mis-spoke. I thought that it will be numbered sequentially
    for the entire document, but I guess it's per page.
    The problem with numbering comments is that their internal order does not
    necessarily correspond to their physical location in the file. The internal
    order is based on the order in which they were created. Having said that,
    it is possible to generate a summary of the comments with sequential
    numbers for the entire file (not just page by page), but it would require a
    custom-made script.

  • HT5622 I think my granddaughter bought a $3.99 app after I put the password in for a free app.  How can I find out what she purchased?  Can I get credit for it?  I just got an email from my credit card confirming the purchase.

    I think my granddaughter bought a $3.99 app after I put the password in for a free app.  I just got an email from my credit card confirming the purchase.  How can I find out what she purchased?  Can I get credit for it? 

    The password is good for 15 minutes to make purchases. You should receive a receipt in 24 to 48 hours for the purchases. There is a link to Report an issue. You could use that to start a conversation with iTunes Support about a refund.
    Apple considers all sales final. But has been known to offer a one time refund. So the question is, do you want to use your one time refund on this purchase or one more expensive in the future?

  • How can I find out what calendars are in my .mac account?

    A simple question, but I am struggling with the answer.
    I have used ical since it first came out and have found it brilliant and very easy to use and access both from the office and also from home. However because I have used it for so long I have had various changes in staff. I am keen to find out if there are any 'other' calendars created by anyone who has/had access to ical via my .mac account.
    The calendars must be stored somewhere online? How can I find out what calendars I am hosting?

    Oh, then you can't unless you know someone with a Mac you could use for a moment or 2. (Like at the Apple Store)

  • How can I find out what is eating up my data?

    This is my second month with Verizon and with my old service plan we only use to use 5GB per month.  Now we are over 7GB.  How can I find out what I am using that is eating up my data?  I still do same things I did 3 months ago.

    I Assume you may have more than one, new device.  You can check in each devices settings, under cellular/mobile data to see which applications are using the most data. 
    YOu can then change many of the applications to use wifi only by turning cellular data off.
    email and social media apps have settings within the apps to restrict cellular use, like not showing video of images.
    restrict application from running in the background by closing apps before leaving home wifi or letting your phone "sleep" at home, while not connected to power.  (To save battery your phone switches off wifi, reverting to cellular, not a desirable feature, but it is supposed to save battery)
    ** to close apps, double click home button and swipe up to close app.  Leaving YouTube, Games, Maps, Social media apps open in the background can use mobile data.
    clear the "outbox" in email.  Cases of massive data use have occurred when an email continues to fail and sits in the out box of the Mail app.
    IN General, a newer phone does use more data for the same functions as older phones.
    FFor more help with your iPhone, please visit Apple support, community forums or a Genius Bar.  I find them very helpful.
    if you do go in to Genius Bar, back up your device.  In some cases, replacing or a complete restor are the only solutions.

  • How can I find out what is running in the background and running my batterie down

    How can I find out what is running in the background

    Hi simpbarby,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The links below will help you understand what apps are running on your iPhone.  You can quit the ones that you aren't using.
    iOS: Understanding multitasking
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4211
    This link will provides tips to conserving battery life:
    Apple - Batteries - iPhone
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
    Optimize Your Settings
    Depending on how they are set, a few features may decrease your iPhone battery life. The tips below apply to an iPhone running iOS 7.0 or later.
    Enable Wi-Fi: Having Wi-Fi enabled helps consume less power when doing activities that access data. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and log in to a Wi-Fi network.
    Adjust brightness: Dim the screen or turn on Auto-Brightness to extend battery life. Turning on Auto-Brightness allows the screen to adjust based on lighting conditions.
    Fetch new data less frequently: The more frequently email or other data is fetched, the quicker your battery may drain. To fetch data manually: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Manually.
    Turn off push notifications: Apps with Push Notification alert you of new data, which may impact battery life. To disable, go to Settings > Notifications, choose the app you want to disable, and do the following:
    Change Alert Style to None.
    Turn Badge App Icon off.
    Turn Sounds off.
    Note: New data will be received when you open the app.
    Minimize use of location services: Apps that actively use location services, such as Maps, may reduce battery life. You can see which applications have recently used location services by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
    Use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas: Your iPhone always tries to maintain a connection with the cellular network, which may use more power in low- or no-coverage areas. Turn on Airplane Mode to increase battery life in these situations.
    Viewing Usage StatisticsKnowing and understanding your iPhone usage can help you better manage your battery life. To view your iPhone usage statistics, go to Settings > General > Usage. Under “Time since last full charge”:
    Usage: Amount of time iPhone has been awake and in use since the last full charge. iPhone is awake when you’re on a call, using email, listening to music, browsing the web, or sending and receiving text messages, or during certain background tasks such as auto-checking email.
    Standby: Amount of time iPhone has been powered on since its last full charge, including the time the phone has been asleep.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
