Manage Windows Dependencies and Service Accounts

During the Windows discovery process, Securden fetches and displays the services, scheduled tasks and IIS App pools that are making use of domain accounts. The dependencies of domain accounts are organized by the device on which they are running.

You can manage service accounts in two ways:

1. Navigate to Accounts and click All Accounts. Select Service Accounts from the drop-down. It will list down all the domain accounts with dependencies. When you click a particular account, and then click the Dependencies tab in the right pane, you will see the list of all dependencies.

2. Alternatively, you can click any domain account on the Accounts tab and then click the Dependencies tab in the right pane, you will see the list of all dependencies. Whenever the password of a domain account is changed, Securden takes care of propagating the change across all dependencies. This way, you can always have complete visibility and control over service accounts and dependencies.

   Note

   When a password on a domain account is changed and you want the related dependencies to be restarted immediately, navigate to Admin >> Account Dependent Services and select Yes for the question - Do you want to restart the dependent services once password change gets propagated?
