The password policy of the domain requires that thepasswords for all user accounts be changed every 50
days.
You need to create several user accounts that will be used by services. The passwords for these accounts
must be changed automatically every 50 days.
Which tool should you use to create the accounts?

A.
Active Directory Administrative Center

B.
Active Directory Users and Computers

C.
Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell

D.
ADSI Edit

E.
Active Directory Domains and Trusts

Explanation:
Use the New-ADServiceAccount cmdlet in PowerShell to create the new accounts as managed service
accounts. Managed service accounts offer Automatic passwordmanagement, making password management
easier.

What are the benefits of new service accounts?
In addition to the enhanced security that is provided by having individual accounts for critical services, there are
four important administrative benefits associated with managed service accounts:

Unlike with regular domain accounts in which administrators must reset passwords manually, the network
passwords for these accounts will be reset automatically.

to open the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. Confirm that the Managed Service Account
container exists.
2. Click Start, click All Programs, click Windows PowerShell 2.0, and then click the Windows PowerShell
icon.
3. Run the following command: New-ADServiceAccount[-SAMAccountName <String>] [-Path <String>].

Use the -ManagedPasswordIntervalInDaysparameter with New-ADServiceAccount to specify the
number of days for the password change interval.
-ManagedPasswordIntervalInDays<Int32>
Specifies the number of days for the password change interval. If set to 0 then the default is used. This can only
be set on object creation. After that the setting is read only. This value returns the msDS-ManagedPasswordInterval of the group managed service account object.
The following example shows how to specify a 90 daypassword changes interval:
-ManagedPasswordIntervalInDays 90
