And Microsoft LAPS have been around for quite some time already. This tool was orginally available for deployment to server/desktop devices connected to a traditional domain (on-prem) setup. This changed as of April 2023, and Microsoft have now introduced Microsoft LAPS (Preview) with support for configuration with Intune, and saving the passwords to Azure AD, giving us - once again - a native LAPS solution to handle the local admin account.

Document the logic/model that is defined, and make sure not to deviate from the actual definition as time goes by.
