Hey thanks for all the help everyone, it is greatly appreciated.
I've decided to go with LAPS as this is part of an overall 'let's tighten up security' project I've got going and my thoughts were, you can't go wrong if you go with the Vendor's recommendation.
I'm distributing the LAPS client software via Startup GPO which is working well ATM. Half way through the setup, but have stopped coz the weekend started.
I'll take a look at Salt as I need to broaden my horizons.
Thanks again folks.
Fyi, to deploy to clients you just need to copy the dll and register it with regsvr32. But good thing you're not trying to deploy it with GP's software installation features.
I get around these problems by using Startup & Shutdown scripts. I create a simple bat file that copies the required files to the local %systemroot%, then I install whatever it is that needs installing. This seems to work well for me.
