Just got this from a server:
The remote server returned an error: (406) Not Acceptable.
That's pretty much how I feel every time I read bad marketing.

At least that's a sensible error. Not like 418.

418 is so awesome. It does age you a little bit admitting you know what it means

The network guys have mandated that all service accounts must have their passwords renewed every 60 days. This means we have to wait for the passwords to be changed, and then be told what they are so that we can turn off all of our apps/services, make the changes, and turn everything back on again. We have over two dozen service accounts that our group owns.
Every.Sixty.Days.

And they have to follow the STIG rules too right? Is it can't reuse in the past 12 or 24?

Right.

You're assuming that the DoD would let us use such a script. You'd be wrong.

That's a remarkable cogent analysis for a UK Government department: are you sure it's not a fake?

Given that it's not only their job but their fervent desire to spy on as many non-criminals as they can, I'd posit that they're only saying it because it's completely untrue -- it's easier for them to crack our passwords if we don't change them regularly

Sounds familiar. On the first business day of every month, I change my password. It's a good idea to be proactive, because if you let it expire (45 days), you can be locked out of your account and will need to get someone else to unlock it for you. When I change my password, I also have to change it for the scheduled tasks and services(*) on our three build servers. The process takes about 10 minutes, and I re-enter the new password 6-8 times on each machine.
Back when we used Bloatus Goatse the process was even longer, and you had to re-enter the old password a couple of times before you could change it.
(*) Supposedly we have "robot" accounts whose passwords never expire. I tried getting one, but there was no way to set the password for it. It granted employee-level access if it was used.

If the service accounts are being used for windows services (rather than linux services), you can transition to Managed Service Accounts. They're fantastic, and I've been advocating their use in our environment for a couple years now. Never change a password again and be STIG compliant. Just don't confuse basic MSA's with Group MSAs (there's a lot of reference material for GMSAs out there that just call them MSAs); the latter are not okay for STIG purposes AFAIK.

They're a little more complicated to work with than traditional user accounts, but not much. If you're interested I have a couple scripts built to help stand them up and work with them, or I can talk you through them. I'm in the GAL.

I wonder if that's what my former DoD contractor used, or if they rolled their own?
All I know for sure is that after extended pushback from my boss and a coworker who was tired of his user account (which was running our CI server processes) getting locked out after every password change when the running service quickly maxed his fail total out. After initially trying to claim there wasn't anything they could do to help us (a common occurrence before management started swinging a heavy cluebat at them) they set up some sort of highly locked down account with no permissions beyond the minimum needed to run the Cruise Control builds and status server that they maintained automatically for us either with a permanent PW or by automating PW rollover on their side.

It's possible. MSAs have been around since Windows 2008, and are only just starting to gain traction in the enterprise environment. They're great because they are non-interactive and locked to a specific computer, so if an action is not sourced from that specific host it will fail authentication.
