Windows LAPS in Microsoft Intune
Windows LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution) provides centralized, simple, and secure management of local administrator passwords through Microsoft Intune. Each device receives its own, time-limited local administrator password. Windows LAPS independently manages the administrator passwords in terms of expiration and rotation. The passwords are stored either in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) or in the local Active Directory.
