Intune LAPs issues

Question

Hi All,

I activated Lapsui on Intune and on Entra. That’s OK, I have the administrator password, which comes in the 2.
I cannot use Intune to activate the administrator account (it is deactivated), and I cannot use Intune to create a new local user and put him in the admin group.
Until now, admins were Azure users.
Can you help me, please?

    Well, I succeeded despite the fact that it is displayed with errors in intune.
    Do you know why this works when it shows me errors?

    I used this to implement it in my company. Hope that it will help you too:

    Lionel Zakarian, the CSP used to add a new user, does not support a GET operation. Hence it will always show an error.

    Want to dig deeper? Have a look at Rudy Oom’s blog:

    Also, you mentioned that you cannot use Intune to enable a built-in admin account. You certainly can use another CSP:

    I just had Bing Chat write a PowerShell script and told it to create the account in the local admin group, set the initial long password with upper, lower, etc., and secure the password so it wasn’t in plain text. I then wrapped that in PSADT and deployed it as an app to all devices. Then, I configured LAPS to manage that account using the account protection policy.

    Greg Gilbert, good idea! What I did also works, but it’s not clean. If I can’t do it with the procedures I was given below, I would do like you!

    There are remediation scripts to create a local admin account used for Window LAPS, like this one: https://www.nielskok.tech/…/windows-laps-user-via…/
