Changing the service account on Exchange 5.5 in a two-head c

[Rob Gordon]

Can anyone point me in the direction of some clear documentation on
what's required in order to change the service account on an Exchange
5.5 server (and Exchange 2000 for that matter). I've just inherited an
environment where the Exchange site was implemented by using a global
administrative account that I wish to change. The other catch is that
the Exchange 5.5 server is in a two-node cluster mode so obviously I'll
have to change the service accounts for both servers.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Does the same apply to changing the service account on Exchange 2000 or
2003? or is that a separate procedure?
