+# Local Administrator Password Solution CSP
+
+The Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) configuration service provider (CSP) is used by the enterprise to manage back up of local administrator account passwords. This CSP was added in Windows 11 as of version 25145. This CSP was added in Windows 11 as of version 25154 (tbd).
+
+The following example shows the LAPS CSP in tree format.
+
+```xml
+./Device/Vendor/MSFT
+LAPS
+----Policies
+--------BackupDirectory
+--------PasswordAgeDays
+--------PasswordLength
+--------PasswordComplexity
+--------PasswordExpirationProtectionEnabled
+--------AdministratorAccountName
+--------ADPasswordEncryptionEnabled
+--------ADPasswordEncryptionPrincipal
+--------ADEncryptedPasswordHistorySize
+--------PostAuthenticationResetDelay
+--------PostAuthenticationActions
+----Actions
+--------ResetPassword
+--------ResetPasswordStatus
+```
+
+The LAPS CSP can be used to manage devices that are either joined to Azure AD or joined to both Azure AD and Active Directory (hybrid-joined). The LAPS CSP manages a mix of AAD-only and AD-only settings. The AD-only settings are only applicable for hybrid-joined devices, and then only when BackupDirectory is set to 2.
+
+|Setting name|Azure-joined|Hybrid-joined|
+|---|---|---|
+|BackupDirectory|Yes|Yes
+|PasswordAgeDays|Yes|Yes
+|PasswordLength|Yes|Yes|
+|PasswordComplexity|Yes|Yes|
+|PasswordExpirationProtectionEnabled|No|Yes|
+|AdministratorAccountName|Yes|Yes|
+|ADPasswordEncryptionEnabled|No|Yes|
+|ADPasswordEncryptionPrincipal|No|Yes|
+|ADEncryptedPasswordHistorySize|No|Yes|
+|PostAuthenticationResetDelay|Yes|Yes|
+|PostAuthenticationActions|Yes|Yes|
+|ResetPassword|Yes|Yes|
+|ResetPasswordStatus|Yes|Yes|
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Windows supports a LAPS Group Policy Object that is entirely separate from the LAPS CSP. Many of the various settings are common across both the LAPS GPO and CSP. However, as long as at least one LAPS setting is configured via CSP, any GPO-configured settings will be ignored. Also see xxx reference on LAPS policy configuration.

+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The string stored in this setting must be either a SID in string form or the fully qualified name of a user or group. Valid examples include:
+>
+> "S-1-5-21-2127521184-1604012920-1887927527-35197"

+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> This setting is ignored unless ADPasswordEncryptionEnabled is configured to True and all other prerequisites are met.
+
+
+Data type is string.
+
+Supported operations are Add, Get, Replace, and Delete.

+
+
+
+### PostAuthenticationResetDelay
+
+Use this setting to specify the amount of time (in hours) to wait after an authentication before executing the specified post-authentication actions (see the PostAuthenticationActions setting below).
+
+

+|1|Reset password|The managed account password will be reset|
+|3|Reset password and log off|The managed account password will be reset and any interactive logon sessions using the managed account will be terminated|
+|5|Reset password and reboot|The managed account password will be reset and the managed device will be immediately rebooted.|
+
+If not specified, this setting will default to 3.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The allowed post-authentication actions are intended to help limit the amount of time that a LAPS password may be used before being reset. Logging off the managed account - or rebooting the device - are options to help ensure this. Abrupt termination of logon sessions, or rebooting the device, may result in data loss.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> From a security perspective, a malicious user who acquires administrative privileges on a device using a valid LAPS password has the ability to prevent or circumvent these mechanisms.
+
+
+Data type is integer.
+
+Supported operations are Add, Get, Replace, and Delete.
+
+
+
+## Actions
+
+Defines the parent interior node for all action-related settings in the LAPS CSP.
+
+
+
+### ResetPassword
+
+Use this Execute action to request an immediate reset of the local administrator account password, ignoring the normal constraints such as PasswordLengthDays, etc.
+
+

+
+
+
+
+Data type is integer.
+
+Supported operations are Execute.
+
+
+
+### ResetPasswordStatus
+
+Use this setting to query the status of the last submitted ResetPassword action.
+
+
+
+|Edition|Windows 10|Windows 11|
+|--- |--- |--- |
+|Home|No|Yes|
+|Pro|No|Yes|
+|Business|No|Yes|
+|Enterprise|No|Yes|
+|Education|No|Yes|
+
+
+
+The value returned is an HRESULT code.
+
+S_OK (0x0) - the last submitted ResetPassword action succeeded.
+
+E_PENDING (0x8000000) - the last submitted ResetPassword action is still executing.
+
+other - the last submitted ResetPassword action encountered the returned error.
+
+
+Data type is integer.
+
+Supported operations are Get.
