Am curious if you've encountered this issue. I'm testing the change on a test SVM and two test SQL Servers with SnapDrive still installed. I changed the password for the service account using the security login password command, then opened SnapDrive on each server as Administrator, opened Transport Protocol Settings, clicked Default, then Manage, pasted in the new password, and clicked OK on each dialog. The password change didn't take! It took me awhile to realize but I couldn't see disks in SnapDrive anymore and saw errors in the Event Log. When I opened the dialog and looked at the password, the # of characters were the same as what they had been previous to the change. It's like it ignored the change. I tried this multiple times, restarting all 3 SD services before and after the change, and it never 'took'. I even tried it with sdcli instead, and got the same results. VERY STRANGE! Any ideas?
