    Hey Tien Ngo Thanh 

     

    LAPS is to administer local admin passwords on a domain-joined computer. It can - if I recall correctly - only administer the default local admin on a machine or a secondary custom local admin on a machine but not both. 

    LAPS can be set so if the computer loses trust in the domain the password reset process will not take place - the password in AD is the current password even if it expires. Once computer regains trust, the password changes again.

     

    LAPS is a great solution to from a security point of view to mitigate pass-the-hash attacks or being compromised if a re-used local admin password is obtained by an adversary. If your concern is management of users passwords then LAPS will not help in that sense.

     

    Thanks,

    Mark
