Endpoint Protection

We are using MSSQL for our Symantec Endpoint Protection database.  The user that setup our installation is subject to password change policy, so I would like to change the user to be a service account in Active Directory that does not have password expiration rules.

In the SEPM database settings, it does not appear that there is a place to change the database user.  How can I do that?

This would need to be done on the DB on the SQL box. Once that is done you would need to run the Management Server Configuration Wizard to re-configure.
