This one create LOCAL user without MS AccountMy question was - how to create MS Account Local user

A Microsoft account is something you will have to register online and you can use it to login to a Windows 10/11 machine. Using MicrosoftAccount\ in a new-localuser doesn't work, the cmdlet new-LOCALuser already tells you that 😉 A MicrosoftAccount is a online/personal account, a AZUREAD\ account is an account which is registered in Azure AD.

* I now exact what is MS Account - I'm using several of them* I know exact what is AZUREAD Account - I'm using several of themMy question isn't about CREATION of MS AccountI'd like to create local accout bounded to [existing] MS Account using Powershell* I can do this 'manually' using settings/account* there is no way to do this through ComputerManager/USersActually today in Win11 is preferred (and close only) way to create new local account bind this account with MS Account. Create unbinded local account is hidden behind 3 "advanced" clickPowershell can create ONLY unbinded account. My question was and stay - How create binded (to MS Account) local user using powershellHOw to do this same manually - I knowAnd next logical question is - how to create BInded (to MS Account) Domain account. Manually this is possible (through account linking)

Ok, than I didn't interpret your question correctly. Never did that, I usually login using AzureAD account or a local account in which I add a work/school account. Linking these two together is something I didn't do before, for my understanding it's a local account (which you create during installation) with a online Microsoft account on top of that in the same local user profile.And you want to do this using scripting when deploying a new workstation?
