I hope you've already changed the password for that particular account in the AD. Have you tried providing the password in the app_pool for the central admin directly?HK Thursday, February 05, 2009 12:36 AM Reply | Quote 0 Sign in to vote I believe the account being used is the same one as the Central Administration Application Pool account, so you can check in IIS which account you are really using.

As I did not know the details, I closed after a few guesses/changing the default account. A few hours later, remembering the password, I try again but get a 503 Service Unavailable. I check the app pools in IIS7 and see that the SharePoint Central Administration v4 app pool is off. I turn it on, close IIS7, but it turns off again. Its settings look good to me: Enable 32-bit applications Off Start Automatically error updating the True Enabled True However, the application event log tells me that the account I was using to access Central Admin, and used by this app pool, has now expired (it's a local account so I did not know this will happen). This also impacts all other services such as SQL Server etc. How can I change the account of the app pool, but also change all of the other service accounts? The credentials used for the account [name] expired on 1/9/2010 1:33:39 PM, and need to be updated. If they are not updated, the system may stop working. The account is used by the following: Farm Account Microsoft SharePoint Foundation User Code Service User Profile Synchronization Service Web Analytics Data Processing Service Security Token Service Application Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application] I assume updatefarmcredentials will fix this.

In production environment, I then use the stsadm –o import command with the –includeusersecurity option. I was assuming that this option was bringing over the security on the exported site only. This does not seem to be the case. Last night I exported one sub site to produtction. Today, I was notified that the security groups on other sub sites have been altered. So why is it when using the –includeusersecurity option effect all sub sites and not just the one sub site being moved from staging to production Error code 737D-Trying to download update My computer is recommending that I download this: Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 (KB970892) But it tells me this: Installation status:
