How to onboard Windows Server with special rights system ?

We have an administrators group for each server in AD. Each member of this group has the local administrator rights for the respective server due to their membership. The servers are all in the same OU in AD. Unfortunately, nothing can be changed to the AD structure in the foreseeable future.We now want to onboard the Windows servers in the PWS. For compliance reasons, we have to work with named accounts on the servers.What is the best way to onboard the approx. 500 servers and the 300 managed linked accounts now?Creating a smart rule for each server, each administrator and then creating a mapping rule is not really a solution, is it?Regard Arno

Use Case: Manual entry of managed account passwords

Hello All,How do you handle use cases where admins need to manually enter the managed account password multiple times in a day. These can be Workstation admins helping end-users directly on end-user workstations and manual entry of passwords is required . As the password rotates very frequently and is complex to remember or type in what is your approach .We have a password manager that they can use on phone , so that they don’t need to carry their laptop or login to PS on end-user machine. We are exploring using Yubikeys or other device which can store partial password and admins can memorize a few characters. Yubikeys don’t allow to restrict storage based on number of characters  though,.

Once user log-in completes, it should enable the end user to perform further activity.Any suggestions to achieve this use case will be appreciated. Thank you.

GUI New Knowledge button in PS Cloud.

First off thanks for adding a Knowledge Center to Password Safe, really great.BUT why does this have to be a “lose” button that can be placed anywhere on the screen.Default, right on top of your counts. Exactly the same was done prior in PM Cloud, WHY. This could easily be a static button in the menu on the left, plenty of room for both PS Cloud and PM Cloud.

BeyondTrust BCIE - Password Safe Certification Exam Eligibility

Hi All, I have a question regarding my exam eligibility for BCIE - Password Safe Certification.In BCIE - Password Safe Learning Path inside BeyondTrust University platform, there is a module called ‘Password Safe Deployment Exam’. I already took the exam and pass it on November 07th, 2024. Today (February 27th, 2025), I want to review the exam questions but because of the bug which I cannot view all the exam questions then I try to retake the exam. After I retake, I found out I failed the exam and I cannot retake the exam again. But if I see the status of the module, it still said “Course Completed”.  My question is:am I still eligible to take Lab Assesstment Exam?I already took the Password Administration Exam before and pass it. So I only need to pass the Lab Assesstmen Exam. From my view, I can still complete the last module if you see the capture below but I have concern since I failed the newest retake in Password Safe Deployment Exam module.I am waiting for all of your responses.
