[cisco-voip] Sanity check for changing passwords on the callmanager 4.1.3

[Jason Aarons (US)]

Since the SAMAccountName is easily obtainable with common security tools
on the Internet, I would focus on password security versus renaming
accounts.

I guess that means that none of the Call manager services are effected
by changing the Window's Administration Account. It is just to log into
the  Windows box. My customer wants to change that too..

What is that supposed to mean?  It says CCM does not use this password,
then proceeds to tell you how to change it?  Is this a typo?

	Hi All, 
	
	I have to change the windows administrator password as well as
the web password for my customer's call manager. 
	
	Following are the steps I am going to follow. Please let me know
if this should work for me or I should do something different. 
	
	This is 4.1(3) call manager and 4.0(4) IPCC. 

	CHANGING PASSWORDS ON CALL MANAGER

	 

	1.	Windows Administrator Passwords on Call manager : 

	 

	 

	Note: The Administrator account serves as the default Windows NT
administration account. Cisco CallManager does not use this password.

	 

	Use any of these methods : 

	 

	*	Choose Start > Program Files > Administrative Tools >
Computer Management > Users, select Administrator Account and right
click Set Password.

	 

	*	The Windows Administrator account password is a login
password into the physical server. You can change the Windows
Administrator password when you press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and click on
Change Password.

	 

	It is necessary to reboot the cluster after you change the
passwords in order to remove any potential problems with Windows
password caching.

	 

	 

	2.	Changing CCMAdministrator Password on the call manage r
: 

	 

	 Since MLA is enabled on the call manager. 

	 Disable MLA and re-enable MLA. Once you do this , it is going
to ask for the new password.  After this is done, restart the IIS on all
the servers.

	 

	 

	I guess this should do it. Also do I need to run "CCMPwdchanger"
or this should be enough. I don't have to change Directory Manager ,
CCMSysuser accounts. Any Ideas. 

	 

	
	
	Thanks 
	Param
