Follow the steps below to update the domain service account password for FlexNet Manager Suite.
IMPORTANT: The service account should be configured so that users cannot change the password. Changing the password in Active Directory can cause components to fail authentication and crash if not updated correctly.
To avoid updating the domain password manually on each component, you can use the Config.ps1 script. This file is included with the installer for FlexNet Manager Suite and can be found under [YOUR SAVED FILE PATH]\FlexNet Manager Suite Installer 2022 R1\FlexNet Manager Suite\Support.
.\Config.ps1 "Config\FNMS Windows Authentication Config.xml" forceUpdateConfig
This will reset all your Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and scheduled tasks to their default settings.
Then select Properties.
You will also need to update the domain service account password on components of your FlexNet inventory beacons. If the passwords are not updated on the beacons, any tasks that use the service account will fail.
Complete the following steps for each of your FlexNet beacons.

As i know you can do this by right-clicking on the PowerShell icon and selecting "Run as administrator." Navigate to the location where the Config.ps1 script is saved. For example, if the script is located in "C:\FlexNet Manager Suite\Support," The script should execute and update the necessary configurations based on the provided XML file. Follow any additional prompts or instructions that may appear during the script execution.
