It uses a client utility to randomise the Administrator password and store the result in Active Directory.<\/p>\n<h3>Overcee LAPS Plugin<\/h3>\n<p>Overcee now has the ability to read the current password and expiry date from Active Directory, and to expire the password so that the client will automatically generate a new one when the next opportunity arises.<\/p>\n<p>This is accomplished with three new default tools: &#8220;(LAPS) Get Administrator Account Password&#8221;, &#8220;(LAPS) Gets Administrator Account Password Expiry&#8221;, and &#8220;(LAPS) Expire Administrator Account Password&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3>Requirements<\/h3>\n<p>To use the new plugin, you must have Microsoft LAPS installed and Active Directory configured accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>You will also need to grant the Overcee web service (web server&#8217;s Local System account) read access to the &#8220;ms-Mcs-AdmPwd&#8221; property, and read\/write access to the &#8220;ms-Mcs-AdmPwdExpirationTime&#8221; property. This can be achieved simply through PowerShell using the AdmPwd.PS library provided when you install LAPS by following Microsoft&#8217;s documentation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction We are pleased to announce the release of Overcee version 18.4.1.
