Windows – Running a Windows service under a domain user account

domainkerberospasswordwindowswindows-service

If I run a Windows service on some host under a domain user account, and the password for this account changes at some later point, will the service now fail to start, until you update the password?

If not, how are the credentials for the domain user account persisted on the machine running the service in a way that allows them to survive a password change?

Best Answer

Yes if you change the password. Then you have to update password for the service too.
