        Yes, I Use “Get-SPServiceInstance” to find out It is”Project Server Application Service”
        But, I ran the “PowerShell script to Change Service Accounts in SharePoint”, then Get an error
        “Property ‘Username’ cannot be found on this object; make sure it exists and is settable.”
        Actully I think it’s reasonable, because I didn’t enable or create project server instance.
        But when I used Central administration > Configure Managed Accounts,and want to delete old service account,I will get an error:
        The account DOMAIN\Services is still being used by these components:
        Microsoft Project Server Calculation Service
        Microsoft Project Server Event Service
        Microsoft Project Server Queue Service

        It make me so confused.
        Any reply will help,thanks!
