MDT - Getting LapsAdmin User - Apps not getting installed

Hi,  Thank you in advance for your help.

If I don't join the computer to the domain, it uses local Administrator account and installs all the apps (office, adobe, etc.) correctly.

Once I use the domain settings (highlighted below) it will join the domain, boots up into login screen using "LAPSAdmin" user displays "password incorrect" error, and none of the apps get installed.

Thoughts?  (TY)

  • Need to understand using old LAPS or Windows LAPS? 

     

    MDT cannot login to a LAPS protected account, only works with fixed passwords. 

    Mind MDT is offically deprecated. This is one of many reasons. 

    You will require a temporary account as part of Local admin group and fixed password. 

    Or create LAPS policy exception in a special OU for MDT deployment.
