Enterprise Admin Password Change

Windows 2000 Question

If I change the Enterprise Password will my Enterprise Admin get a new
SID?

Will this effect my Domain in any way?

Thanks

Unless you move the account to a different domain in the forest (or to a
different forest) <G>.
As Paul stated, a password change does not change the SID of an account.

They only have two scheduled tasks that check the raid(Not Mission
Critical) and I will change these to the new Username and password.

I have two servers that are up and running using the Enterprise Admin
account. This is the account they use to keep the servers going. If I
change the Username and password of this account (Original Admin
Account) will these servers stop working? Or will they work until
their next reboot, and then the new users name and password will work.

If I change this password and move services or applications that must
be started into the start on boot mode.(Right now after the server
reboots the enterprise admin account is used to login and start some
applications, we check some settings, then we lock the console).

These services and applications after being placed to start on boot
up should start after the server reboots without the need for a login.
Right? I guess I would use the new enterprise admin username and
password to set these applications and services to run.

If this is the case an an employee, like an auditor needs to check
some of the services to do reports, can he use a lower level
administrator(Like Account Operator or Domain Admin to check open some
of these the services and their accompanied application to check some
settings?
