MCS has developed a new mechanism for managing on-premises Active Directory and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) identity service accounts to simplify and enhance the management of machine identities including computer accounts in on-premises Active Directory, Azure AD joined devices and Intune enrolled devices. Firstly, we have introduced on-premises Active Directory service account support which allows administrators to manage computer accounts in on-premises Active Directory without having to enter domain credentials every time. Secondly, we have introduced Azure AD identity Service Principal Names (SPN) support which allows administrators to manage Azure AD joined or Intune enrolled devices in the Azure AD tenant, in a secure and streamlined manner. Lastly, we have implemented a new mechanism for service account management in our Studio, simplifying the process and making it easier to maintain security and compliance.
