What is the best procedure for changing the Adminstrator password at at the same time get Exchange and BackupExec to continue working?

It also looks like the Adminstrator does not have full user right in Exchange which makes it all more complicated...

Thanks.

You can create an Account which will be used by BackupExec. Make this account a member of "Backup Operators' group. This account need not have administrative permissions and need not be known to more ppl, and hence you can change your Admin passwords without worrying for the Exchange backups.
In case you are using your Admin account for running your Exchange services, you can remove this dependency in a similar manner.You can use the same account that u use for BackupExec, or create a new one, which can be made a member of Exchange Admin group.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
