Sean,

The account doesn’t have to be the Administrator account. Are you sure you are checking out the correct application pool? I never had any problem changing the account following these instructions.

Great post!

Although after successfully going through the command line tool the Identity of the Central Admin App Pool did not change.

I did an iisreset /noforce

I tried it again and still nothing. The command line ran and finished without any errors.

I thought it might be the actual domain account I was trying to change it to so I tried using the Administrator account. But still did not change the Identity of the CA App Pool.

Any ideas?

Hi Manfred,

The SharePoint – 80 application pool is used for the SharePoint site, not the SharePoint Administration site. You are not supposed to change the Application Pool for Central Administration, but the account that this pool is using.

The application pool will remain the same. I would suggest you read the post again understand the different between the application pool and the account that the application pool is using

Hallo Costas, many thanks from me for taking the pain and making a really nice “howto” for this special issue (the unique central administration application pool account) …however I am NOT using the SBS, I am using the W2003 Enterprise Edition here and when I come to the part where I am supposed to enter the application pool I have only one thing there: Sharepoint – 80…I take it that I am not supposed to use that?…so how can I continue my “journey”??? do i create a new application pool for the central administration? and how would i do that? Please, if you have a little time, answer me or give me a link to an answer…(I have searched for the last three days but I haven’t come across a good answer on that one)….
Best regards,
Manfred
