Computer Accounts are used in Directory Services to uniquely identify computer systems participating in a network, and are even treated in the same manner as users in terms of security. Computer accounts may have passwords just as user accounts do, and are subject to authorization to network resources in the same manner as user accounts. For example, if a network user, with a valid account for a particular network attempts to authenticate with a network resource from a computer which does not have a valid computer account, depending upon policies enforced on the network, the user may be denied access to the resource if the computer the user is attempting authentication from is considered to be an unauthorized computer.
