Domain administrator password change

Hi folks.  Sorry if this one's a bit basic, but I'm a SQL 2000 novice.

I've just taken over responsability for some servers and I need to
change the domain administrator password.

I was wondering if changing this will have any adverse affects on SQL.
The SQL server is a domain controller.  Only the SQLSERVERAGENT service
uses the administrator account.

Will I have any problems "internal" to SQL after the password is changed?

Thanks for any tips.

Hi,

After the change you need to change the password for SQLServer Agent with
new password.

How to change the startup account:-

1. Control Panel - Admin tools -- Services
2. Double click above the SQLSERVERAGENT service
3. In the Log on tab, change the OS user name and enter the password, Click
ok  and restart the service.

Thanks
