Hello,
I hope you guys can help me with a problem that I am facing...

I have started the MSSqlServer service and SQLServerAgent services
with a domain username and password.
There are periodic password resets to this user. Security policies
within the company dictate that the password for this domain account
cannot be permenant.

Would there be any way to automatically reset the pwd in these
services instead of manually changing them each time?

Thanks

I doubt there is, but since this is not really a MS SQL Server issue,
but rather a generic Windows question, a question to the approriate
newsgroup for Windows.

Personally, I would investigate possibilities to set up the account
so that it only can log in as service or some such, which would permit
unexpirable passwords.
