      Thanks. Looks like I'm ok to give it a miss then.

      Moving on, how about LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution)?

      I have to confess my attitude towards local admin accounts has been lax at best, and I need to change. I don't know whether to implement LAPS or just store local admin account passwords in Keepass or similar (or even Excel).

            We set-up all computers with the same local admin account and secure password e.g. LOCADMIN - ImSecure!12
            Only the IT Team know this and it isn't written down anywhere.

              Pretty much the same here, but it's a really bad idea.

                  Virginia State agency goes beyond the 'LOCADMIN - ImSecure!12' in that they change ALL Admin creds every 30 days.... what a pain

                      Like a printer that prints PostIt Notes with the new password and a robot that goes around sticking them to everyone's monitors?
