creating a local account when using ONLY intune no AD link
- Feb 01, 2021
Hi AB21805,
use any of the community LAPS solutions out there as mentioned for Admin Password Management or if you are fine with additional AAD groups in the local Administrators group for example, you should have a look at the new 20H1 Policy CSP "LocalUsersAndGroups". This CSP will not create a user for you but as mentioned you can add AAD groups for example to local groups.
Have a look here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-localusersandgroups#localusersandgroups-policies
best,

So I want a local admin account to basically bypass any restrictions i have set for the device etc so an example would be if I set the device to not show display settings but the local admin cans still bypass this? Also I really dont understand the XML stuff! is there no way of doing it in End point manager / intune? (I am so new to this!)
Here is a blog article listing several of the LAPS community solutions: https://www.vansurksum.com/2020/02/11/challenges-while-managing-administrative-privileges-on-your-azure-ad-joined-windows-10-devices/
