Recently , we had to deploy LAPS on one of our client environment. The requirement was to manage the local administrator password of all the domain joined workstations / servers via centrally. I used the below guides to complete the installation .(Kudos to the blog owners)

In addition to the above you may come across the below issues.

Unable to configure the Group Policy using the LAPS Administrator Template or missing LAPS Administrator Templates.

Solution: You need to run the laps installation on the DC and remove all the options and select only ” GPO editor templates”
Manual Password reset via Fat Client / Command Line is not working.

Solution : You need to run the GPupdate after the manual password reset on the computer where you are changing the password.

Good Luck.
