Hello Dave,

Do you mean the Domain administrator or the local machine administrator from
clients and member servers?

Any user account can have its password changed, and for any
of them the potential issues are the same, namely what might
be programmed somewhere to use the account that needs to
know of the correct, new password. These usually come down
to the main areas of: scheduled tasks started as the account,
services defined to run in the account, and sometimes mapped
drives that are defined to be persistent.

Hello Dave,

You have to figure out if this account is used for services or scripts running
in the background. Then you have also there to change the password.
