About this tag
MSA, or Microsoft Account, is a recurring topic in WindowsForum discussions, particularly in the context of Windows 10 and Windows Server. In Windows 10, an MSA is required to enroll in the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program, which provides security updates beyond the end-of-support date. The enrollment process involves signing in with an MSA and may include options like backing up settings to OneDrive or using Microsoft Rewards. On Windows Server, MSA password renewal can trigger NetLogon 3210 events, as seen in Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 7 SP1. Additionally, MSA is used for activation in the Windows Insider Program, where testers must connect with the MSA used to register to receive the final release build.
