What about looking at the security log in the event viewer? that should show you all the login/logouts for all the accounts in the domain, along with from what system they logged in from.

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,
