Summary

Argent Global Manager now supports gMSA account.

Argent Advanced Technology must be installed with gMSA before installing Argent Global Manager.

Group Managed Service Accounts (gMSA) is Microsoft’s free tool that simplifies service credential management.

Configuring a service only requires entering the username, while the password field remains empty.

There is no need to enter a password, so there is no need for it to be generated and documented. Thus, the system’s security level increases significantly.
