Password Change Procedure for Reporting Services

Hi All,

Like most large organizations, password management is a big maintenance burden.  Our Admin team handles many password changes per month due to corporate requirements.  Among those, are the various accounts used to manage SSRS.  Every 90 days we are required to change the password.

Recently, new Admin procedures have been developed where they want to move away from using the canned Reporting Services Configuration manager to using Windows Services directly.  The new procedure specifies the following:

1. Invoke Windows Services and display all services.
2. Sort by “Log On As” so that all ssrs accounts are lumped together. These services will require a password change
3. Iteratively walk through each service and change the password.  Remember to Stop/Start each service.

My question:  Will this work?  What are the risks?  Obviously, I want as little interruption to SSRS as possible.

Thanks for your help.
