🔒Microsoft Intune Support for Windows LAPS🔒

Every Windows device has a built-in local administrator account, which has full permissions and cannot be deleted - a lot of power against one single account. Here's where Windows Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) steps in, becoming an essential asset in your security arsenal.

Leveraging Microsoft Intune, you can improve your security stance with endpoint security policies for account protection. Intune's LAPS policies can enforce robust password requirements, back up your local admin account to your Active Directory (AD) or Azure AD, and even keep your passwords fresh with regular, scheduled rotations.

Beyond scheduled rotations, Intune allows you to manually change passwords and view extensive account details. These features offer substantial protection from cyber-attacks exploiting local user accounts, including the infamous pass-the-hash or lateral-traversal attacks.

With LAPS managed through Intune, remote help desk scenarios become more secure, and device recovery becomes a feasible task.

🔄Intune's support for Windows LAPS includes:

🔹Setting stringent password requirements.

🔹Scheduling automatic rotations of local admin account passwords.

🔹Backing up accounts and passwords to Azure AD or your on-premises AD, with strong encryption for passwords.

🔹Configuring actions post password expiry.

🔹Providing account details for Intune administrators with role-based administrative control (RBAC) permissions.

🔹Offering reports on password rotations.

🔎This feature applies to Windows 10 and 11, and the prerequisites include Intune and Active Directory subscriptions.
