The Dreaded "The SSP Timer Job Distribution List Import Job was not run."

Unfortunately, when I set up some test SharePoint sites on my dev machine I tied service accounts to my network userid & pwd. Our network policy requires that passwords be changed every 90 days, so every 90 days I get into a pickle because I can't remember all that I had to do so that SharePoint would continue to play nice on my machine.

1. In IIS, change the password of all App Pools that are tied to my network account and restart IIS


2. At the DOS prompt run stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin <domain\userid> -password <new password> followed by iisreset /noforce


3. In Central Admin:
   
   • Go to App Management and click on "Manage Search Service" under the "Search" group and change the "Office SharePoint Search Indexing and Query" account's password
   
   
   • Click on Shared Services Administration, right-click the default shared service and select Edit Properties and update the password for the SSP Service Credentials


4. At the DOS prompt run iisreset /noforce
