Local Account creation via policy (Password not working)

I created a policy to create a local account. The account gets created successfully with the policy but for some reason the password I set in the policy does not work. Has anyone run into something like this? It is not working on a specific laptop cart that uses 2017 MBAs that were manually enrolled. Not sure if that has something to do with it, but it is working on other devices. Any ideas?

Thanks

What version of macOS are those MBA's running? If I am not mistaken Jamf uses DHCL to make the accounts, which has not changed recently as far as I am aware. However, workflows on non-supported versions of macOS can be flaky.

Hello, thanks for the reply, they are running the latest Monterey version, I believe Moneterey is the latest these MBAs can run. Not sure if it may be related to a Filevault issue?
