## Group Managed Service Accounts

-
A group Managed Service Account is a managed domain account that provides automatic password management, simplified service principal name (SPN) management,the ability to delegate the management to other administrators, and also extends this functionality over multiple servers. Azure AD Connect Cloud Sync supports and uses a gMSA for running the agent. You will be prompted for administrative credentials during setup, in order to create this account. The account will appear as (domain\provAgentgMSA$). For more information on a gMSA, see [Group Managed Service Accounts](/windows-server/security/group-managed-service-accounts/group-managed-service-accounts-overview)
