Rotating Windows Azure Pack encryption keys
Windows Azure Pack for Windows Server uses encryption algorithms, encryption keys, and passwords to secure communications between
the databases and users in the management and tenant portals.
You can reset Windows Azure Pack account encryption keys if you believe they have been compromised or accessed by unauthorized
users; or as part of periodic, regular security maintenance.
NOTE: Before you run Windows Azure Pack encryption key rotation runbooks, we strongly recommend that you back up the SQL
Serv
er databases, and all Windows Azure Pack VMs. For information about how to do this, see
Backup and recovery .
Use the following runbooks for password and encryption key rotation. You must run them in the listed order.

Runbook Name Description Order
