Managing shared Windows AD accounts across resources

Managing shared Windows AD accounts across resources

Hi,

   We purchased PMP as a password vault; it's not currently accessible in the same domain where our servers reside. There is no current need for PMP to manage the resetting of passwords directly at this time although we plan to move to this model at some point in the future. At present, we just need a secure way to store, view and manage passwords.

   We're having a difficult time trying to structure our system in a way where we can effectively manage our AD accounts. The scenario below:

1. we have created a set of resources as type Windows Domain (essentially Windows servers on AD)

2. we have also created resource groups for these resources.

3. we have added login (domain) accounts on these individual resources.

These domain accounts are shared across machines (resources) but there doesn't appear to be a way to quickly manage these accounts. for example:

a. ability to define AD domain accounts then associate then with resources

b. ability to search for a AD domain account and list all associated machines (resources)


Is there a prescribed method to handle this? It would be painful to have to hand key and manage the same AD domain account across a large number of resources.

Regards
