SUMMARY
When Microsoft Exchange Server is installed, the Exchange Setup program asks for a user account to be used as the Service account. This account is then given special permissions in Windows NT as well as inside Exchange Server. Because of the dependency that Exchange Server has on the Service account and the way the Service account interacts with the numerous components in Exchange Server, it is not recommended that you change the Exchange Server Service account for any reason after the Exchange Server Setup has been completed. If for any reason you need to change the Exchange Service account, please call Microsoft Exchange Server Support for assistance.
