Enabling domain management

May 11, 2021

Each target device that logs on to a domain requires a computer account on the domain controller. This computer account has a password that is maintained by the Windows desktop OS and is transparent to the user. The password for the account is stored both on the domain controller and on the target device. If the passwords stored on the target device and on the domain controller do not match, the user can not log on to the domain from the target device.

Domain management is activated by completing the following tasks:

Enabling Machine Account Password Management
Enabling Automatic Password Management
