Renew password computer object Azure storageaccount

Hello,

 

is't necessary to change the computer object password, following link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-identity-ad-ds-update-password.

 

Or is this a better solution: https://www.reimling.eu/2020/12/azure-files-enabled-ad-ds-smb-authentication-all-you-need-to-know/#Computer_or_Service_account_and_the_references_of_password_expiration

 

I've also read that the azure storage account keeps available, also when the computer password will be expired.  

 

What is the best solution?

    Put the Azure Storage account object, in its own OU, maybe block accidental deletion as well.

    You can create a fine-grained password policy for https://specopssoft.com/blog/create-fine-grained-password-policy-active-directory/
