There's been a bit of chatter in the Jamf community regarding the deprecation notice that would remove the ability to set a static password for the PreStage local admin account and how it relates to LAPS.  We hear your feedback and this deprecation is on hold.  

  • Admins will continue to have the ability to set a static password for the PreStage account
  • Workflows that require a static password for the PreStage account will remain unaffected
  • LAPS will not be on by default for the PreStage account

More information to follow in an upcoming blog post.
