Local Accounts
I am looking at server that is part of a domain, its local password policies are MS default policies. Some accounts are domain accounts, other accounts are local accounts to the server. If someone does not have physical access to the console
in the data centre. Can someone access those local accounts? If so how do they access them?

Hi,
You can enable the Remote Desktop on the server and then add the local user accounts in the Remote Desktop Users group on the server.
The users can remote access the server by Remote Desktop.
For more information:
Enable Remote Desktop
