We've been running it on all domain-joined machines for a couple of years
now.  Rollout was a snap and it's been glitch-free (*knocks on head*).

The only scenario we've had challenges with is when a machine ends up in
some weird state where it think's it's fallen out of the domain but LAPS
has nevertheless continued to roll over the password.  I think it's
happened twice.  Our desktop folks chalked it up to yet another layer of
badness on a machine that was probably already ripe for a re-image.

Walter,



We rolled it out this spring to central IT supported systems. That success
enabled us to promote it to the two other domains that are part of our
forest and they are adopting it as well.



Next step is to inventory all the other accounts that are members of the
local admin group and see what we can do to clean those up.

Hi all.  I found a thread from 2 years ago asking about Microsoft LAPS for
local admin control.  Is anyone using it?  How do you like it?  Any other
suggestions for admin password management?  Thanks
