Impacts of changing service accounts

Hi, I inherited a couple of sharepoint farms and they didn't use the recommended accounts such as sp_install, sp_farm, etc. I want to create new ones and change the existing. Is there any impact to this. I struggle getting permissions
to the SQL databases so I want to be sure I can do this without having to go to the database owner to add/remove accounts.

As commented above it will connect to the next available DC in the same site. Jut change the DNS IPs in exchange server and follow any of these if you want to specify which DC/GC to use, and it will not create issues for you.

Changing service account leads to FS Repository error

We are having a FS repository on the portal which was available in KM content.
Now I have made changes in the service account for the portal ie I have
changed the domain in domain/username to a new one.
Now the repository in not available in KM content anymore.
We are also getting an exception for unknown user name or bad password.
ie wcm.repository.InvalidNameException.But the credentials are all proper.
I cant see any errors in the component monitor too.
Nothing else has been changed.Have I missed out anything.
Also Will server restart solve this problem.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Regards
Vineeth

This was the info available in The trace file
Error on resolve of resource:/Subscriptions - com.sapportals.wcm.repository.InvalidUriException: Invalid RID: No repository manager found: /Subscriptions
The FS name is subscriptions.Is it anything to do with the RM.
But the RM looks perfectly ok. Also it appears in KM Content but accessing
shows an
"Item Not found"
The item you are attempting to access is not available. Check that the name or link is correct. You might also check whether the associated repository is currently accessible
Will deletion of a RM lead to any issues ?
Appreciate any inputs on this

Changed service account passwords, now can't image

sccm 2012 sp1 with cu2, on server 2012.
everything's been working as expected since pilot began in january. As part of routine maintenance, we changed the passwords on our sccm service accounts last week (early may). Now we can't image anything, so we had to change the passwords back to
what they used to be.
I can't find any place in sccm other than the domain join step in the task sequence that actually has a password field. as part of troubleshooting, we changed only one of the service account passwords (left the one in the TS used for domain join as-is)
but imaging still failed - one of the first steps in the task seq (while in winpe) tries to download a package and fails with a 401 authentication error per the smstslog.
thing is, i don't know where in sccm to specify the password used at that point. because of the way we changed only one account password and then it failed, we know which account it's trying to use, but have no idea where to set that account or its
password in sccm. i couldn't find any options in winpe config, and not even under the network access account in the console's admin section. seems the naa screen only lets you choose WHICH AD account to use, but doesn't let you give it the pw for
that account.
suggestions?

Hi,
It sounds like it is the Network access password you need to change, you can change it in the admin console under \Administration \ Site Configuration\ Security\ Accounts there you can set the password by selecting the account and set then set the password.

Jörgen

@ccmexec
i haven't tested it yet but that's probably it. i'd been to that screen but hadn't clicked the SET button, which of course has a password field.
one minor correction though - the tree to get to that section is just administration/ security/ accounts. site configuration is a different node a little higher on the tree.

Change service accounts from Domain Admin to local Admin SQL Cluster

Hi
We have some SQL Clusters in our enviroment, the previous administrator made user accounts for the sql cluster services, but he put these accounts in the Domain admins group, the security staff ask me to remove them from this group, but I don't know if this
would raise issues for the SQL cluster.
I thought would be better to put this accounts in the local Administrators group in every server's cluster and remove these accounts from the Domain Admins group, but we can not restart the server....
Is this possible? or is it neccesary to do another extra procedure?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
It is always recommended to run Cluster service with domain account having lest privileges.Running with local account can have issues like when SQL server restarts the account looses logon rights due to AD policy (have seen this issue many times) now suppose
by any cause SQL server stops at midnight it wont start as local account will loose privileges.So get a domain service account created below link will surely be helpful

Enable 'Deny Logon locally' for Service Accounts - impacts

Hello All,
I am planning to implement Deny Logon locally for Domain Service Accounts. There are several Service accounts for which I want to prohibit log on for any computers/servers.
Before implementing this policy I wanted to know the impact as many service accounts are configured in some application related services, read data from database etc.
Please let me know if this causes any impact.

No it doesn't if your service accounts are used properly. You might want
to grant "logon as batch", too.

Service Account Management through Request Templates

Hi,
I am trying to implement Service Account lifecycle use cases (Create, Modify, Delete) on 2 resources(AD User, iPlanet User) through Request templates. In this case OOTB tasks - Service Account Alert, Service Account Changed, Service Account Moved with resource specific Process definitions are not get triggered as I am initiating process through Request Templates.
I want to trigger post process EventHandler upon triggering any of these events. so, I created metadata xml file as the following and imported it into MDS.
-----------------EventHandler Metadata file------------------------
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<eventhandlers>
<action-handler class="com.wipro.sdf.iam.oim.plugin.ServiceAccountCreationEventHandler" entity-type="Resource" operation="PROVISION" name="ServiceAccountCreateEventHandler" stage="postprocess" order="1021" sync="TRUE"/>
</eventhandlers>
----------------------------XXX----------------------------------------------
When I trigger create event of SA on any of the resources, the EventHandler is being invoked and from execute() method, Orchestration is giving the following data
{UD_IPNT_USR_LAST_NAME=TestTwo, BENEFICIARYKEY=798, UD_IPNT_USR_COMMON_NAME=SA Test Two, *ResourceKey*=12, serviceaccount=true, UD_IPNT_USR_SA_ADMIN=USER16TE, UD_IPNT_USR_USERID=SATEST2, UD_IPNT_USR_FIRST_NAME=SAccount}
My EventHandler has to do some actions on target resource(AD / iPlanet),so I would like to get resource connection details like IP, port , admin login details etc.
To fetch those details, I am using ResourceKey that is coming from Orchestration.
When I use the following code to find Resource details based on Key, its throwing resource not found exception.
-----------------------Code from execute() of EventHandler----------------------
String resKey = getParamaterValue(parameters, "ResourceKey");
tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf resInsObj = Platform.getService(tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf.class);
//Get Resource Details based on Resource Key
HashMap searchMap= new HashMap();
searchMap.put(Constants.IT_RESOURCE_KEY, resKey);
logger.debug(methodName+" - IT Resouece Search Map is : "+searchMap);
tcResultSet resultSet = resInsObj.findITResourceInstances(searchMap);
-------------------------------End of code ------------------------------------------------
I tried finding for the table which stores all IT Resource connection details. But no luck.
Now my questions are:
1. Which table stores all IT Resource Information that can be seen from Design Console -> Resource Management -> IT Resource Type Definition - > Resource?
2. Which table stores Resource Key and Name details?
3. When we do query for records from any form in Design Console, where exactly would logs get recorded? (as it queries DB to fetch information there should some file like DB Tracer Log etc)
Could somebody please answer these questions and give some hint to implement SA management through Req Templates?
Thank you in advance,
Mounika

Hi kevin,
thanks for reply.
i am thinking that, Even though OIM11G is developed in ADF,some parts of the code is in struts only,like xlWebApp.war .
i have seen source code of xlWebApp.war folder that is there in OIM11g.
it seems to be developed in struts only.
is there any ADF interaction in that?
i have written helloworld program in struts,that is working fine.
i have done that,for ADUser resource popup i added button "serviceaccount for this resource".when i click that one jsp page will come.
so i am thinking that,some other reason is there for not working.
can u please tell me the reason?

Service account for Windows Update sync

Hi all,
I would like to know if it's possible to change service account used by WSUS 2008R2 SP1 to sync with Windows Update servers, and if so how.
Thanks. Have a good day.
FXE

Hi,
Do you want to use the different account for the WSUS management? Is so, that account must be a member of either the WSUS Administrators or the local Administrators security
groups on the server on which WSUS is installed in order to use the WSUS console.

BOL says : Only the account under which the SQL Server service account runs is granted NTFS permissions to the FILESTREAM container.So, if you start SQL Server under different account , that account wil have access to use fliestream data (read / write)
At the database level ,If a user has permission to the FILESTREAM column in a table, the user can open the associated files..

Service account password change

Hi.
we have ADFS 3.0 ( 1 server, not a farm ) with groupmanaged service account. All Works fine. Now - i see on DC, on one moment that password for this object has been changed.
Description:
An attempt was made to reset an
account's password. Subject: Security ID: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Account Name:
DC1$ Account Domain: DOMAIN Logon ID: 0x3e7 Target Account: Security ID:
DOMAIN\First_gMSA$ Account Name: First_gMSA$ Account Domain: DOMAIN
. And about ~40 min later login via ADFS to third party saas stopped to work.
In security log on ADFS server following events started to show up.
An account failed to log on.
Subject:
Security ID: DOMAIN\First_gMSA$
Account Name: First_gMSA$
Account Domain: DOMAIN
Logon ID: 0x872CA
Logon Type: 3
Account For Which Logon Failed:
Security ID: NULL SID
Account Name:
Account Domain:
Failure Information:
Failure Reason: An Error occured during Logon.
Status: 0xC000018D
ADFS service runs under this account and after restarting service all was fine again.
Error code should be - STATUS_TRUSTED_RELATIONSHIP_FAILURE
So - the question is - HOW should service proceed password change or should any additional configurations performed ( which are missed by me.

Try this: "STATUS_TRUSTED_RELATIONSHIP_FAILURE" error when you log on to Office 365 from AD FS proxy in Windows

Changing Reporting Services Account via SMO

I am in the process of changing our Service Accounts to use virtual accounts in place of using local accounts. I am using SMO to change the SQL Server, SQL Server Agent and Analysis Services accounts to the virtual account and works great. Question
I have, can the Reporting Services account be changed via SMO without disrupting Reporting Services? In the past, an DBA change the reporting services account password without going through Reporting Services Configuration manager, and we lost all of
the data sources for the reports. I was wondering whether or not using SMO will result in the same thing happening or not.
Thanks.

I've not tried this on SSRS but the below link talks about your problem. I would recommend you to have rollback plan in case of any issues. Try this on less critical servers.

Changed SP application pool service account - 500 internal server error

Hi all,
Trying to resolve some farm installation issues in our test environment. Long story short is that on install a previous user used our SP_Farm account to install everything and pretty much use this account to run all web applications/services.
So I am in the process of trying to resolve one portion of it by allocating a new managed account for the web application pools. I have created a new account called SP_Pool on the DC. This is just a domain user with no specific rights applied (classic authentication).
I changed the account using CA "configure service accounts" for both our mysite and SharePoint site web apps.
SP applied the new SP_Pool to the appropriate workstation groups and DB rights. Tried to hit the site and got the rather generic HTTP 500 Internal Server error. Put SP_Pool into the local admin rights group to test and was able to hit the site so something
is definitely pointing to a rights/permission issue. I was under the impression the app pool accounts did not require any local SP server rights? I have seen mention of "Impersonate a client after authentication" but that's only for Claims based
auth
I've gone through every scenario which are mentioned below:
Tried to connect from a client machine and server. 500 error
All App pools are started and SP_Pool is running both web apps
IIS bindings are same as before
no changes to the web.config
No errors in the Application event viewer
Checked iis logs and has 500 errors throughout it. The 4th number in the sequence usually changes (i.e. 500 0 0 499, 500 0 0 468 etc)
Turned on Failed Request Tracing and no issue has come up
Tried to clear the configuration cache - same deal
Ran process mon - seen nothing out of the ordinary
So based off the above is there anywhere else I could look to try and resolve this issue? Or is there something so damn obvious I've missed here? Running out of ideas
Appreciate any feedback
Thanks

Hello,
Have you tried to turn your SharePoint server off and on again ( I know , it sounds like a basic helpdesk answer but in the case of changing user account for application pool, it already fixed the issue for me)
