Have everybody a nice day,

I need the LAPS password from a PC at work but if i search it via AD i don´t see any... is there a way to set a new password or maybe recover the last password?

Thanks in advance!

    Hello there,

    Have you tried powershell to get back the password?

    Enter-PSSession dc.domain.local
    Get-AdmPwdPassword -ComputerName "computer" | Select-Object Password,ExpirationTimestamp

    You can also look into this thread for alternate options https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/650906/laps-password.html

    It´s like some computers loose their LAPS password somehow, so normally i redeploy them but in this case i may not redeploy the PC.

    Hi

    Check this post for details on how to retrieve the laps password. If the tab is not visible either the password is not set or you don't have right to read the password.

    https://nettools.net/retrieving-laps-password/

    To set access rights to read the password use the following command

    Set-AdmPwdReadPasswordPermission –Identity “OU Name” –AllowedPrincipals “User or Group Name”
