Your network contains a server that runs Windows Server 2008 R2. The server has Microsoft
SharePoint Foundation 2010 installed. You create a new Web application named WebApp1.
Webapp1 is configured to use a service account named Service1. You need to ensure that the
password for Service1 is automatically changed every 30 days. What should you modify from Central
Administration?

Explanation:
Configure managed accounts
You need to register managed accounts with the farm to make the accounts available to multiple
services. You can register a managed account by using the Register Managed Account page in
Central Administration. There are no options on the Register Managed Account page to create an
account in Active Directory Domain Services, or on the local computer. The options can be used to
register an existing account on the SharePoint Foundation 2010 farm. Perform the steps in the
following procedure to use Central Administration to configure managed account settings.
To configure managed account settings by using Central Administration
1. Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a farm administrator.
2. On the Central Administration Web site, select Security.
3. Under General Security, click Configure managed accounts.
4. On the Managed Accounts page, click Register Managed Account.
5. In the Account Registration section of the Register Managed Account page, enter the service
account credentials.
6. In the Automatic Password Change section, select the Enable automatic password change check
box to allow SharePoint Foundation 2010 to manage the password for the selected account. Next,
enter a numeric value that indicates the number of days prior to password expiration that the
automatic password change process will be initiated.
7. In the Automatic Password Change section, select the Start notifying by email check box, and then
enter a numeric value that indicates the number of days prior to the initiation of the automatic
password change process that an email notification will be sent. You can then configure a weekly or
monthly email notification schedule.
8. Click OK.
