1. Log into the Azure Windows 10 PC.
2. Set the password policy in the Account Policy in the Local Security Policy. Set the maximum password age to 90 days, set the minimum password length to 10 characters, and set the accounts lockout threshold to 5 times.
3. Create a local user account for Jill & Roy's office manager Samuel on the Windows 10 office computer using the Control Panel. Make sure it does not have administrator privileges. Set it so that he needs to change their password upon first use.
