Service Account password reset for Windows WMI monitoring?

Question

Where are all the places to reset a service account in SAM that affects WMI monitoring?

The windows servers get the update via active directory. They don't care what solarwinds has configured. 
 For the solarwinds nodes themselves representing the servers, they are using the stored credential, which is only needed to be changed once in the location you have in the pictures above. As long as all of your nodes are using 1 WMI credential, you make the change in AD, then update the SolarWinds credential to match AD. You can test it there too to make sure it works after your update.
