Will changing the tree admin password break any OES services?

Solution

Novell's support statement :-

"The id used to install OES (usually admin) is not cached in any configuration or startup files used by the various services (except Novell Clustering Services). There are no known issues with changing the password of this ID in relation to OES services."
