Where are all the places to reset a service account in SAM that affects WMI monitoring?
Not sure if I understand your question because its a one liner but, you can reset the password on Active Directory and edit the credential here https://SWServer/Orion/Admin/Credentials/CredentialManager.aspx
So, We have changed the password here:
Are you inheriting credentials from the node or are you using a separate set of creds?
Now , we monitor nodes (windows workstations). There are many of them. How to change the password for the service account for these?
Yes, we are inheriting credentials from the node. The service account password is used on anything in windows WMI.
Change the password on Active Directory, then update the credential with the new password on Solarwinds.
What are all the places to update the service account?
I will provide some screen shots
Go to SAM Settings. On the right-hand side under “GLOBAL SAM SETTINGS”, click on “Credentials Library”.
Here and where I mentioned but I think they are the same thing. There shouldn't be anywhere else to update the credential.
