In addition to logging into the domain, what else is needed for Accounts Discovery?

For Accounts Discovery, scanning of individual machines is essential because this process involves identifying and enumerating user accounts on those machines. This can include local accounts, domain accounts, and service accounts, which can only be accurately gathered by accessing each machine and performing a scan.

Using scanning tools can reveal information about user accounts that may not be visible from a domain perspective alone, especially if those accounts are local or if there are discrepancies in account permissions. To fully understand the account landscape within an organization, assessing each individual machine allows for a comprehensive overview of accounts that may otherwise go undetected.

While other actions, such as using an admin account, may enhance the effectiveness of accessing account information, they do not specifically address the necessity of investigating each machine to ensure a complete account inventory. The same applies to the password reset and domain policy update options, which are not directly linked to the core requirements for conducting an effective Accounts Discovery process.
