Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) is now official

This solution is now officially distributed by Microsoft! "Microsoft is offering the Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) that provides a solution to the issue of using a common local account with an identical password on every computer in a domain. LAPS resolves this issue by setting a different, random password for the common local administrator account on every computer in the domain. Domain administrators using the solution can determine which users, such as helpdesk administrators, are authorized to read passwords." https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46899 https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/3062591.aspx
