title: Using SC.exe to set service credentials password fails
body: <p>I know this question has been asked in the past, but a satisfactory answer has not been provided.</p>
  
  <p>I am using the SC command to config the credentials for a service.</p>
  
  <pre><code>SC.exe config "SERVICE NAME" obj= "domain\user" password= "password"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This completes successfully, but when I start the service, it fails
  to perform the login.<br>
  [<code>NET START "service name"</code>]</p>
  
  <p>If I manually update ONLY the password from the <em>services.msc</em>, then
  when I start the service it works fine.</p>
  
  <p>I have hundreds of servers to update this change occurs in the middle of a deployment,
  so manual intervention is NOT an option.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried using the config to update the login account and then another config command for the password.</p>
  
  <p>From all accounts, the <code>SC.exe</code> does not work for passwords and Microsoft has NO help.</p>
  
  <p>IDEAS?</p>
