Feature Request: Getting Local admin password from AD into BatchPatch

[Andreas]

Hey Doug,

there is a nice little feature from Microsoft called laps whichs stores and changes recently the local administrator password from domain computers and stores it in the active directory. Could you maybe add a little function that graps that password from the active directory and use it as a logon account for the maschine? Because I don’t like to work with Domain Admin Account and I’m usally just working with local administrator password but this is a pain in the ass if you have to change all your password every 30 days 😉 It would be a lovley litte feature and I’m pretty sure that I’ll not be the only one using it 😉

best regards

Thanks for the suggestion, Andreas. We will take a look at this for a future build.

However, please also note that in the meantime you do not need to use a domain administrator account or separate local administrator accounts. You can use a single regular domain user account that has been added to the local administrators group of each target computer.

-Doug
