Hi,
I opened Sharepoint 2010 Central Admin and as per normal, was prompted for my login details. As I did not know the details, I closed after a few guesses/changing the default account.
A few hours later, remembering the password, I try again but get a 503 Service Unavailable.
I check the app pools in IIS7 and see that the SharePoint Central Administration v4 app pool is off. I turn it on, close IIS7, but it turns off again. Its settings look good to me:
Enable 32-bit applications Off Start Automatically True Enabled True
However, the application event log tells me that the account I was using to access Central Admin, and used by this app pool, has now expired (it's a local account so I did not know this will happen). This also impacts all other services such as SQL Server etc. How can I change the account of the app pool, but also change all of the other service accounts?
The credentials used for the account [name] expired on 1/9/2010 1:33:39 PM, and need to be updated. If they are not updated, the system may stop working. The account is used by the following: Farm Account Microsoft SharePoint Foundation User Code Service User Profile Synchronization Service Web Analytics Data Processing Service Security Token Service Application Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application]
I assume updatefarmcredentials will fix this. I tried the following:
stsadm.exe -o updatefarmcredentials -username sysaccountname -password pwvaluehere -local
This results in a "command line error". What is the proper syntax?
