I need help.
I am currently facing an issue where the trust relationship between a client computer and the domain controller has broken. As a result, the LAPS-managed local administrator password is not working.
Since the LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution) policy is already applied, the old local administrator password no longer works, and I’m unable to retrieve or use the current password managed by LAPS.
Due to this, I am unable to rejoin the computer to the domain.
I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve this issue—specifically, how to regain local access or retrieve the LAPS password in order to rejoin the system to the domain.
Thank you.
Hi Tahirshah2090 ,
The key problem that you seem to be facing is that you can't retrieve the LAPS-managed password from Active Directory? What are teh exact resutls when you try to do that?
It's not good when the trust relationship gets broken, but I am unaware of any reason why that factor alone would cause the LAPS-managed account password to get out of sync.
