Answer 3

so i should do this?

 

When managed accounts are unsuitable, you must change passwords in SharePoint Foundation manually when the passwords change in AD DS. Passwords must be changed manually for the following things:

• SQL Server services
  
• The default content access account
  

as mentioned here?

That is what i suggest, yes.

Answer 5

Hi David,

You should start over.
It's a bad bad idea to install with a domain admin account. It's even more bad bad to run the timer service & ca (what you did) as a domain administrator.

Use normal domain user accounts for all sharepoint accounts.

Make the installation/admin account local admin on the SharePoint servers and use a different account for the timer service (called 'farm account' these days)

Read up before you start:
