## Issue Issue The Windows guest agent identifies administrator accounts and groups using string matching. Therefore, credential management features only function correctly when you use English language names for user accounts and groups, for example, `Administrators`. If you use non-English language names, credential management features such as generating or resetting passwords might not function as expected. For more information about managing Windows user accounts, see[Manage accounts and credentials on Windows VMs](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/windows/generating-credentials) and[Known issues for Windows VM instances](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/troubleshooting/known-issues#windows-non-english-credentials). ## Feature Feature **Generally available**: Two new features that provide better observability for Compute Engine reservations and deeper insights into their capacity usage and costs: * A new `consumedReservation` field in the VM instance details showing the full resource name of the consumed reservation, providing reservation consumption status on VMs and better visibility for resource management and troubleshooting. * Two new system labels in the BigQuery billing export for instances consuming a reservation and the unused portion of a reservation, providing more detailed cost analysis: * `compute.googleapis.com/reservation_name`: the short name of the Compute Engine reservation. * `compute.googleapis.com/reservation_project_id`: the Project ID owning the Compute Engine reservation. For more information, see the following: * [View consumption history for a given instance](https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/bq-examples#view%5Fconsumption%5Ffor%5Fa%5Fgiven%5Finstance). * [Analyze usage distribution per project for a shared reservation](https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/bq-examples#analyze%5Fusage%5Fdistribution%5Ffor%5Fa%5Fgiven%5Freservation). * [List all the instances consuming a reservation](https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/bq-examples#list%5Fall%5Fthe%5Finstances%5Fconsuming%5Fa%5Freservation).
