Creating a local account on Windows Server 2019 allows users to access and manage the server without an internet connection or domain membership. This is useful for situations such as local administration, testing, or troubleshooting.
Local accounts are managed on the server itself and are not synchronized with any external directory services. This makes them easier to create and manage than domain accounts, but also less secure. It is important to use strong passwords for local accounts and to avoid using them for sensitive tasks.
