Answer 1

HI @Chanuka Francis ,

I'm not sure if it's a "best practice", but a good practice is to not have passwords that never expire, because this is a very high security risk.

Service Manager fully supports domain service accounts that have their passwords expire, you'll simply need to reset them in SCSM / with the SCSM PowerShell module once the domain service account's passwords expire.
