Right to start of

"User accounts" are basic elements of system security. To protect local and network resources from unauthorized access, you need a method to identify and authenticate users

A "computer account" is an account that is created by a domain administrator. The computer account uniquely identifies the computer on the domain. The Windows computer account matches the name of the computer joining the domain.

That help

Check the MS site for more info should be there somewere
