Difference Between Service Account and User Account

Question

What is the Difference Between Service Account and User Account

Answer 1

Hello Mohit,
Basically there are two types of approches which you should understand.
In many environments, administrators prefer to simply create a domain user account and assign appropriate privileges to it. Then this user account is used in order to start a specific service on a computer.
In that case there is really no difference between a user account and the so called service accounts. Since this service account is simply a domain user, all the task related to managing the domain users apply to it. For example you
should keep the password up to date manually. Some environment move step forward and assign
Deny Logon Locally of this type of service account in order to enhance the security.
The second concept is Managed Service Accounts. There are plenty of differences between a Managed Service Account and a User Account.
The Display Icon is different from a view perspective.
The type of object is different. 
Managed service accounts password management is automatic.
You can not create Managed Service Accounts using GUI. They are only created using Powershell.
