Hi, I'm questioning the validity of using Update-DbaServiceAccount. According to this
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/configure-windows-service-accounts-and-permissions?view=sql-server-ver15#[…]s SQL Configuration Manager makes other changes. Viewing the code of Update-DbaServiceAccount, it just seems to update only the service. Won't this break things? (Especially the relationship between the account and SSRS keys)?

we use WMI which takes care of not breaking things with SSRS keys.
