Use gMSA in Active Directory to launch services and tasks

This article covers how to use gMSA in Active Directory. When a gMSA is used as service principals, the Windows operating system manages the password for the account instead of relying on the administrator to manage the password. Group Managed Service Accounts (gMSAs) provide a higher security option for non-interactive applications/services/processes/tasks that run automatically but need a security credential.

The Install-ADServiceAccount cmdlet installs an existing Active Directory managed service account on the computer on which the cmdlet is run. The cmdlet also makes the required changes locally so that the managed service account password can be managed without requiring any user action.
