change the domain admin password and enable audit of unsuccessful authentications
to track systems/applications that still use the old one.

Time has come to change the domain admin password. Unfortunately this is 
used (hardcoded?) across the network in lots of different places, 
services, virus downloads etc. Does anyone know of a way for me to audit 
the admin account so I can see where it is currently in use.

Has anyone got any other tips for changing the domain admin password 
without lots of pain?

Thanks,
