We’re currently evaluating implementing LAPS, and I was curious as to who has done it recently and your experiences in undertaking it.

What I liked about it

  • easy to implement into AD
    • Use AD group to scope access
    • GPO to scope what devices use LAPS
  • easy to deploy with Automox
  • for devices on network all the time, works great
  • retrieve password with GUI or PowerShell

What I didn't’ like

  • Resetting password requires rebooting device
  • Only works on domain joined devices
  • Reporting is manual effort
  • Lack of logs for troubleshooting

 

Here is a worklet and process that helped me get through using it all.
