I'm on Windows 10, I have installed Active Directory, but not configured.

If you are talking about Active Directory then you likely have a Pro version of windows 10. This means that you can use the internal user manager to create a Non-Microsoft linked account on that workstation.

Microsoft linked accounts require a very different authentication method that is currently incompatible with the needs of dbFront.

To create a local Administrative account you can do the following.

• Right-click on Start
• Click on Computer Management
• Open "Local Users and Groups"
• Create or select a Non-Microsoft connected user.
• Ensure that the user is a member of the Administrators group.

An administrator account is required to manage the set up of dbFront.
