The `Join-AzStorageAccountForAuth` cmdlet will perform the equivalent of an offline domain join on behalf of the indicated storage account. It will create an account in your AD domain, either a [computer account](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/identity-protection/access-control/active-directory-accounts#manage-default-local-accounts-in-active-directory) (default) or a [service logon account](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/win32/ad/about-service-logon-accounts). The created AD account represents the storage account in the AD domain. If the AD account is created under an AD Organizational Unit (OU) that enforces password expiration, you must update the password before the maximum password age. Failing to update AD account password will result in authentication failures when accessing Azure file shares. To learn how to update the password, see [Update AD account password](#update-ad-account-password).
