Change Exchange Server 2003 Services Account

Hello:

I'm trying to change the logon account of the various Exchange services
(System Attendant, Information Store, etc.) from the local machine to a
domain user account with Enterpirse Admins, Domain Admins and Schema
Admins, group rights.

However once, I restart these services with the new account instead of the
local account, it no longer works.

I am using a MSPress Book ("Implementing and Managing Microsoft Exchange
Server 2003") as a guideline, where it explains how to do it. After
researching for a while, I also found this
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;239762
&Product=exch2003.
So, which is the right document?

Has anyone ever been able to start Exchange services under a different
accout other then the local account?


Thanks in advance.

I have never been able to get that portion working, I believe it is a typo
with the MS Press book. I have also worked with MS and they have also
suggested that you leave it at local system

Thank you for your answer.
I must admit I have been looking for a way to get it, but I didn't find it.
It is hard to believe this kind of "mistakes" take place but I must admit
the evidence.

If someone finds the way to improve it, please, explain it to me.
