Refresh of Windows Services

[Guest Carlos Felipe França da Fonseca]

If I change the password for a service account without modifying the

password on the service, how long does it take to go down?

Does the service try to authenticate periodically?

Does it try to authenticate again only after a restart?

 

Thanks,

 

Felipe

That is entirely dependant on the service in question. There is no single

answer to that question.

Hi, Paul!

 

Thank you for replying.

I am talking about SQL Server services.
