Configure this setting to control the specific user or group who is authorized to decrypt encrypted passwords. Configuring this setting has no effect unless password encryption has been enabled. If this setting is enabled, encrypted passwords will be decryptable by the specified group. If this setting is disabled or not configured, encrypted passwords will be decryptable by the Domain Admins group. This setting must be configured with either a [added: domain-qualified name of a group or user, or a ]SID in string [removed: format ("S-1-5-21-2127521184-1604012920-1887927527-35197") or the name of a group][added: format.

In that scenario, this setting always defaults to the Domain Admins group of the domain controller's domain.] See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2188435 for more information.

This policy configures post-authentication actions which will be executed after detecting an authentication by the managed account. Grace period: specifies the amount of time (in hours) to wait after an authentication before executing the specified post-authentication actions. If this setting is enabled and greater than zero, the specified post-authentication actions will be executed upon [removed: expiry][added: expiration] of the grace period. If this setting is disabled or not configured, the specified post-authentication actions will be executed after a default 24 hour grace period. If this setting is equal to zero, no post-authentication actions will be executed. Actions: specifies the actions to take upon [removed: expiry][added: expiration] of the grace period.

(NOTE: after any interactive logon sessions are terminated there may still be other authenticated sessions in use by the managed account. The only robust way to ensure that the previous password is longer in use is to reboot the device.)[removed: Reset the password and reboot: upon expiry of the grace period, the managed account password will be reset and the managed device will be immediately rebooted.] If this setting is disabled or not configured, post-authentication actions will default to "Reset the password and logoff the managed account". Note: the DSRM account on domain controllers cannot be configured for post-authentication actions. This policy has no effect on domain controllers and will be ignored even if configured for a DC.
