I’m Manash Sarkar from Kolkata India. An innovative concept builder & out of box thinker. Every challenges for a smooth proper IT service delivery have instigated me to think new ways for ease in providing services.
System local admin password have seen lot of changes. Concept of changing the system local admin password (quarterly / half yearly or annually) manually to Microsoft LAPS (local admin policy system) automated across the landscape ….
Recently while performing an activity which req. the admin password credentials, faced challenge to type easily (v complex with alpha numeric & special character) LAPS. As per ISO or Microsoft credit level, LAPS is the current technology implemented across major orz. Also, the password gets automatically changed on the system as per defined domain policy.
This prompted me to think differently. Immediate need some changes….windows should develop wherein copy/ paste admin credential facility is available for windows OS systems.
Sharing more advanced feature for the MS tech team to check & have a testing done in labs.
Virtual Admin profile: Currently all windows login profile is visible physically. Develop a login (only single admin profile) which will have the admin privilege role but will not be visible in windows. When setting up windows for the first time or installing OS, Virtual Admin can be created, with password.
Result: More enhanced & secure feature.
Also roll out the concept of disable the view (blackout) front view in Windows OS, ONLY WHILE remotely accessing the system for Admin Credentials. Such identical feature already available for Microsoft Authenticator. If mobile phone screen sharing is done while providing the authenticator code, other side gets blackout. Only after providing the code the screen gets visible. Same feature should be extended for Windows, so that admin password remains secure.
