Assigning new account for tfs reporting service account.

Hi,

I have to replace the service account used for reporting in my TFS server. I got linked to the following article on msdn which lists down the procedure to replace the old report account with new account.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252480(VS.80).aspx

I have few doubts here.

1. The article suggests to useTFSAdminUtilChangeAccount for replacing the accounts. Is this utility should be used to replace only the "Team Foundation Server Service Account" noted as "TFSService" or is it mandatory to run this utility even for replacing "Team Foundation Server Reporting Service" noted as "TFSReports".

2. Is it sufficient if I directly change the account manually, as mentined in the article, under the heading, "To update credentials for the Reporting Service data sources"

3. In my case unfortunately, the domain account created for "TFSReports" has been deleted. If I have to runTFSAdminUtilChangeAccount , then I am not sure if this utility will work for me as the account is already deleted. Would it be possible to list out the places where all I have to change it, if I have to change it manully.

Thanks,

Laxmi.

You can use TFSAdminUtil even though the current account is deleted.
