Its been a while since I've looked at backup exec, but if I'm not
mistaken when you login from the admin console / when you select your
backup exec server there is a "services" button.  If you go under there,
you are able to stop the services and reconfigure them to login as
another user.  Use a DOMAIN account, not local and make sure they are a
member of the Backup Operators group, and if you are backing up
Exchange, Domain Admins too.  This is ONLY for the Media Servers / the
local agents run as SYSTEM.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Intractable a000846b Error

First post here, so be gentle.

Just recently I changed my domain password and now can not get
BackupExec
9.1 to run my jobs. Everything fails with a000846b, "error occurred
while connecting to the Remote Agent for Windows Services".

I've changed my password before with no problem, but maybe I did
something a little differently this time. I've confirmed that the Remote
Agent is listening on port 10000 as Veritas support dox say it should
be. I've also rebooted.

Windows Server 2003 system, BackupExec 9.1, patched/updated to SP4a, no
reasonable suggestion will go untried.
