You would find a much better ROI by spending your time planning to upgrade them rather thank risk bringing them down to please some IT requirement. One of the best things about the move to the appliance model is that it put an end to the TAC cases that you are heading toward ("IT policy made me change all my passwords, everything is broken"). Been there, done that (many, many times).<div><div><br><div>

<div style="WORD-WRAP:break-word">What passwords are you changing? If it's every password on the server my recommendation is don't. If it's just the local admin password then just make sure all servers in the CM cluster have the same one and you'll be fine.
<div><br></div>
<div>The service account passwords are generated using a non-reversable hash and should never be changed manually via the OS. There is a utility to change them in bulk across the cluster but I would not advise touching it unless things are already broken.</div>
