I have ran the update farmcredentials utility, I am using a single domain user account which is a local admin on all MOSS servers. I have also checked and changed the default content access account but it still gets locked. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Hi,

– can ou tell me why the search service account needs to be a local admin – according the the msft doc – it does not need that

and according to the Spence article you refernce – we should NOT be giving individual accts local admin rights

"On every server where MOSS is to be installed, the account you run setup with must belong to the local administrators group" - Can I remove the user from the administrators group when installation is done? Should I? Think I've read it could/should be done somewhere, but can't seem to find it. Thank you for answering, will certainly take this under consideration.

In addition, if your web app has an account issue (password changes / gets locked out / etc.) all of your web apps will come to a screeching hault vs. just one of them. How much you break things out depends on your own security and governance requirements. If you're extending things to the internet or extranet, the web apps that are extended should be isolated with their own app pools as well.

Is it really important to split these up? Then for every web application we create we would need to create a new app pool AND a new service account for that app pool. Seems like overkill to me... please correct me if I'm wrong. We’re running all application pools under one account here. Is it really important to split these up?
