Acronis "Services" Credentials

Thread needs solution

Is there more efficient way of setting credentials for the acronis services rather than going to each computer and setting it manually? Because we are required to change our password every 90 days, and when the password is changed I have to go out to every desktop to change the service credentials.

Are you referring to the Acronis User credentials or the actual PC/Workstation user credentials for making and running tasks?

What licence setup do you have as far as ABR11.5 is concerned?

I don't think Acronis have addressed this since that post.

I haven't tried this, but as an account can be specified to be used for logon of MMS, I wonder if setting up your own Acronis User account would work.

Obviously exempting this account from password change would eb the easiest route but of ocurse would flout the secuirty requirements of your organisation.

If your licence is one that allows you to have a centralised setup with just agents installed on the other machines, you would then have only one password you would need to keep changing.

I would have to fire up W2008 or 2012 to see what happens with ABR11.5 and Active Directory.

Thanks, That code looks confusing and idk how to use that lol but I guess I will be changing passwords still
