What happens to the clients if someone changes the domain admin password ? I entered them during client installation & was wondering if this breaks the clients ability to perform any actions on the client pc's.

You'll need to enter the new password in the set credentials function of the agent tab for all of those machines. Else you'll run into issues with KES, BUDR, and patch management (and probably some scripts and other things as well).

we always set a domain admin and local admin for ourselves and use those as the credentials for kes, backups, etc. that way if we need to change the password for that account we can just run the script against all the agents. you should be able to search and find both the domain admin and local admin scripts in the forum.
