Instalação e configuração do Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS)

Abstract

The increase in technologies and the ease of access to computer knowledge has aroused the interest of users to circumvent systemic rules in corporate environments and this has put computer networks at risk. One of the several items to be treated in network security is the password of the local accounts that computers have, and for that, Microsoft developed LAPS, a tool that offers centralized management for these accounts. Thus, the objective of this work is to install and configure LAPS on the domain server and on its client computers, preparing an instruction on how to implement this in network environments to increase security and its management. Through illustrative figures, the step by step of how the software is installed and configured, as well as its respective policies, is explained. Thus, it was possible to carry out the necessary procedures to understand the operation of LAPS and conclude that this software is essential to increase the level of security in corporate parks with Microsoft licensing.
