Managed Account Generate New Password Caused Search to fail

Question

I used the managed account generate new password for my search service account. Everything looks like it worked just fine but now I'm getting Item was not crawled because of a password change. Update password and retry crawling. I retrieved the password using powershell and attempted to change it in the search administration page but it tells me my password is incorrect.

Answer 1

For me its looks like a bad password, that's why i hate SharePoint Managed account's ability to generate new password.

What i would do.

• Change the password of Default content Access Account( Manually change it)
• Update the Search adminsitration with new password
• Update the Account under the managed account.
