Hi All,

we plan to change SA password and there are 2 servers running on replication.

what are the precautions that i have to consider?

what is the fallback plan should changing SA password causing other error/ bugs?

can somebody tell me the exact steps to change SA password for this kind of environment?

thanks in advance.

Is your replication using SA account or SQL Agent service account.? What accounts you used while setting up replication in SQL 2005?
