    Will the randomised LAPS account name feature be available in intune any time soon?

      Yes - all the new Win1124H2 and WS2025 features discussed here are already available via the Windows LAPS CSP, and the Intune portal will also be supporting them soon.

    Does the new UI font only show up in Server 2025 or Win 11 24H2?

    When will you be able to enable automatic account management within the Intune admin center rather having to use a CSP?

      Intune folks have the work done and it should be rolled out publicly fairly soon.

        Is this going to be a separate 24H2+ only policy, or at least show some warnings about trying to apply it to non-applicable OS versions?

    I know this session is specifically about "Windows LAPS", but could you provide an update on when we might ever see "macOS LAPS" (and the associated polices to create and manage a local account on macOS without shell scripts)?

      Thanks guys, for pointing this out.   Sorry for the confusion - this Windows LAPS session was slotted in somewhat late, causing the mixup.   Heather has fixed it just now.   :-)
