Security Recommendations for LAPS are outdated

Question

These recommendations in the Microsoft Secure Score seems to be ignoring the new Windows LAPS and looking at the old LAPS. When we changed over to the Windows LAPS, these recommendations started getting flagged. I thought Microsoft would eventually change them over, but they haven't yet.

Enable Local Admin password management

Remediation -- pointing to the old GPO settings....

Option 1 - Set the following Group Policy:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\LAPS\Enable Local Admin Password Management
To the following value: Enable

Option 2 - Set the following registry value:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft Services\AdmPwd\AdmPwdEnabled
To the following REG_DWORD value: 1

These appear to be the OLD GPO settings, not the new Windows LAPS.

I have Windows LAPS working and my Secure Score is still being flagged for this recommendation.

Protect and manage local admin passwords with Microsoft LAPS

This recommendation directs you to download the old LAPS client.
