# Accounts CSP 


The Accounts configuration service provider (CSP) is used by the enterprise (1) to rename a device, (2) to create a new local Windows account and join it to a local user group. This CSP was added in Windows 10, version 1803.


The following diagram shows the Accounts configuration service provider in tree format.

<a href="" id="accounts"></a>**./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Accounts**  
Root node.

<a href="" id="domain"></a>**Domain**  
Interior node for the account domain information.

<a href="" id="domain-computername"></a>**Domain/ComputerName**  
This node specifies the name for a device.  This setting can be managed remotely. A couple of macros can be embedded within the value for dynamic substitution:  %RAND:<# of digits>% and %SERIAL%.  

Examples: (a) "Test%RAND:6%" will generate a name "Test" followed by 6 random digits (e.g., "Test123456").  (b) "Foo%SERIAL%", will generate a name "Foo" followed by the serial number derived from device's ID. The server must explicitly reboot the device for this value to take effect.

Supported operation is Add.

<a href="" id="users"></a>**Users**  
Interior node for the user account information.

<a href="" id="users-username"></a>**Users/_UserName_**  
This node specifies the username for a new local user account.  This setting can be managed remotely.

<a href="" id="users-username-password"></a>**Users/_UserName_/Password**  
This node specifies the password for a new local user account.  This setting can be managed remotely. 

Supported operation is Add.

<a href="" id="users-username-localusergroup"></a>**Users/_UserName_/LocalUserGroup**  
This optional node specifies the local user group that a local user account should be joined to.  If the node is not set, the new local user account is joined just to the Standard Users group.  Set the value to 2 for Administrators group. This setting can be managed remotely.

Supported operation is Add.
