How to manage services where the Windows service account is a domain account. -
Lösung
To manage a service account on Windows Assets where the service account is a domain account, the 'Change Password' Profile (created via "Settings | Profiles | Change Password") can optionally have the relevant settings including "Update Service on Password Change (Windows Only)" / "Restart Service on Password Change (Windows Only)" configured as required.
This Change Password profile can then be added to either the existing Partition Profile or a new Partition Profile (under "Partitions" via the "Profile" tab, creating or editing a Partition Profile and selecting the "Change Password" tab using the dropdown at the top to select the appropriate Change Password profile).
Next, add the appropriate Directory account under "Account Dependencies" for the required Asset(s). Ensure the Asset is using the appropriate Partition Profile under the 'General' tab.
When Safeguard manages the password of the Directory account, the Windows service account on all dependent assets will be updated as well. The changes can be viewed under Activity Center.
