First, you need to create at least two domain accounts, one as a farm account and one for other services!

  • List all services and application pools that run with your current account.
  • Create Domain Accounts in your AD.
  • Add the newly created accounts to managed account.
  • In SQL Server,
    • the new farm account should have db_creator and SecurityAdmin permission on the server level.
    • The service account should have an owner role on all database services.
  • Open Configure service accounts in Central Administration and assign the new service account for the farm account, application pool, services.

  • Also, run the below cmdlet to update farm account credentials

    stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin DomainName\UserName -password NewPassword
    
  • Run iisreset /noforce to restart IIS
