        Understood. If these are Active Directory joined, there should be a domain admins group embedded into the local Administrators group. For the Azure AD joined (and for the domain joined, you can go old school and send a script to the devices: net user "Administrator" /active:yes Again, I'd caution that a best practice is to not enable the default Admin account.
