Single Connect can provide seamless connection to Windows devices with the admin password. To import Windows devices from Azure to the Single Connect inventory:

1. Follow the steps outlined in section [Creating Azure Accounts ](docId\:GveSny4rkObTRzilc8gjw).
2. Set the **device.import.azure.reset.windows.admin.password** property as **true** in the element type, in addition to the other properties in the figure below.

- Define the Azure Device Import job if it is not defined yet. Refer to section [Creating Azure Device Import Jobs](docId\:vJW5Iph9ZWnwbsdApsnrJ).
- Add a** Device Group** tag according to the steps outlined in section [Adding Azure Devices to specific Device Groups](docId:0ZZHDWAg8i0uI0X90Sjzw).
- Add an SSH key to the** Secret Data **vault to import the Windows Devices.

- Trigger the Azure Device Import Job (defined in step 3) manually. The log in credential properties **rdpCredentialsName** and **rdpUsername** are automatically set in the Device Properties.

The credentials’ detail is set in the **Secret Data Vault** with the format **AdminCredentials-publicIP**, after the importing process is successful.
