You can modify the node credentials using the Configuration Manager. To ensure that your change goes smoothly, the new credentials should be permissioned as outlined in Node Credential and Alternate Credential Details for On-Premises Discoveries . If you modify credentials that are used by a discovery node, the node service must be restarted before the changes take effect. Enterprise Reporter will attempt to restart the node; however, if the restart fails, you may need to manually start the service on the computer hosting the node. If there are jobs currently running on the node, they will be canceled. To prevent this, either change the credentials during a down time, or cancel the discoveries yourself and restart them once the change takes effect.
Occasionally a credential change will fail, for example because the node host computer is not available on the network or has a firewall configured, or because you have provided invalid credentials. In this case, the node will indicate that it failed to start in the bottom pane of the Manage Discovery Clusters view. You can manually restart the service using the Services console on the remote computer. For more information, see Troubleshooting Credential Change Failures .
NOTE: If you are performing a password update on credentials, see Changing Passwords Using the Credential Manager for more information. |
NOTE: Nodes can potentially lock an Active Directory® password, so remember to change the password on the node whenever you update the password on the node’s account. |
