Windows - Admin Account Password Rotation Notification

Summary​

This script will automatically create a ticket or send an email notification if the script 'Windows - Admin Account - Create/Update' updates a client-level Local Admin password. This will allow the partner to manually update a separate password management tool as the tickets come in.

Update Notification: 11-14-23​

Please be advised to promptly synchronize the script EPM - Windows Configuration - Script - Windows - Admin Account - Create/Update. Notably, there have been updates in the SetEnvironment_Local_Admin_Process function of the script, focusing on property imports. Additionally, script notes have been adjusted to include the required date for optimal functionality. If updating, please re-run the SetEnvironment_Local_Admin_Process function of the script to ensure that the system properties required for this script are imported.
