I recently changed a password on what I thought was a little if not unused account at our company. Turns out this account is what our CRM system was using to call web services. I have updated this password on about everything I can find but I am still having issues. Does anyone know how I can update the password on the CRM side so that things go back to normal? I am hoping this is an easy fix and I am just not savy enough to figure it out.
It really depends on what the account was being used for. Here's a few places that the account could be used:
Sharepoint Services (upload, modify, delete docs on sharepoint) Reporting Services (generate reports)
You might need to reset the unattended execution account: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156302.aspx
It could be possible that some of the plugins are using a hardcoded password within them (to call web services). In that case you would need to go in and update the plugins.
When you update a password in AD it should reflect that in CRM, so I would expect that it's actually an issue of trying to access something outside of CRM.
