SharePoint 2010: Create Managed Accounts

1. To view existing Managed Accounts using SharePoint
   1. Open Central Administration,
   2. select Security
2. On the Security page select Configure managed accounts under General Security.
3. The Managed Accounts page will list all Managed Accounts registered in SharePoint.

 

When you edit the items in this list you can specify a password expiration policy, notification settings, update the password for each account as well as see a list of farm components that the service account is running.

The second option on the main security page, “Configure service accounts”, allows you to change which service account a specific service uses. You simply select the service, select the account and click save, very easy.
