How do you manage the password of a specified local administrator account to help keep your organization secure? By regularly rotating the password and backing it up with Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS). With the legacy solution, you could only do this with Active Directory (AD) on premises, but new capabilities make it easy to manage cloud and hybrid environments, too. For cloud environments, we're excited to introduce new ways to leverage LAPS with Intune and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Which one's your cup of tea?
