Test-MtIntuneLAPSConfiguration

SYNOPSIS​

Ensure at least one Intune LAPS policy is configured to back up local admin passwords to Entra ID.

SYNTAX​

Test-MtIntuneLAPSConfiguration [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION​

Checks Intune Endpoint Security Account Protection policies (configurationPolicies API) for Windows LAPS profiles that back up local administrator passwords to Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD).

Windows LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution) automatically rotates and backs up local admin passwords, preventing lateral movement attacks that exploit shared or stale local admin credentials.

Pass criteria (all required on at least one LAPS policy):

  • BackupDirectory = 1 (Entra ID) to store passwords in the cloud.
  • PasswordComplexity >= 4 (large + small letters + numbers + special characters; values 4 or 8 are accepted).
  • PasswordLength >= 14 characters.
  • PostAuthenticationActions configured to a non-zero value (reset password, optionally logoff/reboot/terminate).

AutomaticAccountManagementEnabled is reported for completeness but does not affect pass/fail.

The test passes if at least one LAPS policy meets all four criteria above.

EXAMPLES​

EXAMPLE 1​
