Adding Windows Systems

For Windows systems, there are two types of accounts: local accounts and domain accounts. When you add users for a Windows system, the user_name you specify should always be a local user account. If you want to manage domain accounts for domain computers, you must first add the domain to the Privileged Access Service. For information about adding domains and domain accounts to the Privileged Access Service, see "Managing domains."

For more information about password management for local accounts on Windows systems, see the following topics:
