Changing Admin account name

When changing Administrator user Account name, does the
change happen automatically to all the services that
depend on the administrator account to start? Or do I have
to change the user name for each of the services?

TIA

You'll have to change the services manually. This is always a problem and if
you change the password you would also have to go to each service that uses
this account and change the password manually at each service. Typically
creating a special service account and using a big huge password is sort of
a workaround so you don't have to do this as often.

You will have to change it and if you are talking about the built-in
administrator account you really shouldn't be using that for running services.
