Windows LAPS in Entra ID (preview)

- One minute read - 185 words

I have tried the new Windows LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution) with direct support for Entra ID.

If you have Windows 11 machines (which natively support it), it is really simple and fast to implement.

Here are some useful information:

📌 No licensing requirement, available from Entra ID Free and above

📌 Supported operating systems:

  • Windows 11 22H2 - April 11, 2023 Update
  • Windows 11 21H2 - April 11, 2023 Update
  • Windows 10 20H2, 21H2, and 22H2 - April 11, 2023 Update
  • Windows Server 2022 - April 11, 2023 Update
  • Windows Server 2019 - April 11, 2023 Update

In the video, besides configuring the Intune profile to re-enable the built-in local Administrator, I also tested a slightly more specific scenario by renaming the Administrator. It is a good hardening practice that I have often encountered in the field, and it is very easy to configure via Intune Settings Catalog.

What can I say, you just have to watch the video for all the other details 😉

Are you already using LAPS in your infrastructure? Let’s discuss it together on my social profiles!

Enjoy watching!
