Hi there

 

So this "Seems" to be most recognized LAPS for MacOS - https://github.com/joshua-d-miller/macOSLAPS 

 

Has anyone actually got this up and running? We had spends a few days so far messing with this but were not able to get it working properly, I think we are missing something small but important. 

 

Thanks in advance! 

If you could share that work around to delete and recreate the current account that would be great.

And thank you for your work with LAPS. Appreciate everyone who is working towards a good secure solution.


@perryd84 I guess I may have answered my own question looking again at your GitHub, is the reset script the workaround to deleting the original admin account and recreating it?  If so would you run that instead of the initial Create and Cycle LAPS account script, or am I really off base on this?

Either way, thank you for devoting your time to something worthwhile for the Apple Admin community.

Hi @skinford 

Not exactly. The reset script is to clean up the LAPS account if it runs into any errors or the password falls out of sync etc.

The work around I have done for other users is to script the removal of the existing account and then have the LAPS script recreate it all. It's something some users have done themselves but I'm happy to help you out if needed?

Thank you, @perryd84 ,

That would be great if you have something that you could share that does that I would appreciate it.  Thank you again!

I responded a bit ago, thank you!


Does anyone have issues with using the JAMF Extension Attribute for macosLaps? I noticed the password is written to the EA, but then a day or so later its blank. It seems to be very inconsistent, some days its blank and others it has a password. If I force an inventory, then usually it appears again.
