INTRODUCTION
You must update Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 after you make
one or more of the following changes:
• You change your password for an account after your password expires.
• You reset the password for an account.
• You change the account that SharePoint Portal Server 2003 uses.
MORE INFORMATION
Before you change an account, you must first verify that the account is used
for the CentralAdminAppPool application pool account in SharePoint Portal
Server 2003.
If the account is used for the CentralAdminAppPool application pool account,
you must update the account and the password in SharePoint Portal Server 2003.
Note By default in SharePoint Portal Server 2003, the account that is used for
the configuration database administration account is also used for the
CentralAdminAppPool application pool account.
Important You must update the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 configuration in
the order that the steps in this article are presented. Do this to prevent
possible failures with the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 server.
Note You can use the Central Admin Farm Account settings page instead of
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) to change the CentralAdminAppPool
application pool account credentials. However, the current account credentials
must be valid, and the Central Admin Farm Account settings page must open
correctly. We strongly recommend that you follow the steps in this article to
