Changing service account information

On the Backup Exec server, all Backup Exec services run in the context of a user account that is configured for the Backup Exec system services.

Note:

The Backup Exec service account and the Backup Exec system logon account are set to the same user name when Backup Exec is installed. If you need to change the user name for the service account or if the service account is no longer used, then you should also change the Backup Exec system logon account to use new credentials.

See About the Backup Exec service account.

To change service account information

  1. Click the Backup Exec button, select Configuration and Settings, and then select Backup Exec Services.

  2. On the Backup Exec Services Manager dialog box, select the appropriate server, and then select the service for which you want to change the service account.

  3. Click Edit credentials.

  4. Check the Change service account credentials check box.

  5. Enter the new user name and password for the service account.

    See Service Account Information options.

  6. Click OK.

  7. Click Close.
