Capability to Create local user within LAPS policy

Hello - please see the new "Automatic account management" policy, now available in Windows 11 24H2 and Windows Server 2025.

Hi vontier (and others in this thread):

Please check out the new Windows LAPS "automatic account management mode" feature (and other new features!) that dropped in today's 26040 Canary build:

Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26040 (Canary Channel)

I am actively seeking feedback on all of these features - just let me know.

Jay

Hello thanks for look at it.

I'm asking for a more integrated solution, so that we can manage even new user creation in the same LAPS policy. Just to have a single policy to manage and not multiple.

vontier - can you please comment on why the Accounts CSP is not suitable for this purpose?   Or are you asking for a more integrated solution where messing with the Accounts CSP is never required?

I am looking at adding an automatic local account mgmt feature for Windows LAPS, but it won't be ready anytime soon.  There is IMO a potential here to create a confusing mess of overlapping policy responsibilities and I want to make sure that we come up with a clean solution.
