Key metadata and intent for this policy.

Computer
Category
System > LAPS
Supported on
At least Microsoft Windows 10 or later

Supported OS tags: Windows10

This policy setting specifies a custom Administrator account name to manage the password for. If this policy setting is enabled, LAPS will manage the password for a local account with this name. If this policy setting is disabled or not configured, LAPS will manage the password for the well known Administrator account. DO NOT enable this policy setting to manage the built-in administrator account. The built-in administrator account is auto-detected by well-known SID and does not depend on the account name. See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2188435 for more information.
