Using Laps with activated UAC?

Avatar
Member

Hello,

I want to use Laps as default credentials in PDQ Inventory.

In our Windows AD environment is on every System a local Admin configured.

 

Both on Server Systems (WinSer 2019) and Clients (Win 10) I get a password in Laps.

In PDQ Inventory Laps seem to work fine on Server Systems, but on Windows Clients I get the message "Access is denied".

When I deactivate UAC it works on Windows Clients too, but that is not a permanent fix cause of the lack of security.

Btw. UAC is activated on our Server Systems too.

 

Do I miss something here? Any tips how I can PDQ Inventory and Laps make work with activated UAC?

 

Thanks in regards!

    I believe you will need to disable Remote UAC: https://help.pdq.com/hc/en-us/articles/220533007

    @Colby Bouma why does it work with our Windows Server 2019 Systems though?

    I'm not sure. Is Remote UAC already disabled on them? I don't have much experience with workgroup computers.

    They are members of our domain and have UAC activated, I just checked it to be certain.

    Just a heads up, it looks like STIG recommends not disabling it and using a domain account. https://www.stigviewer.com/stig/windows_server_2008_r2_member_server/2014-04-02/finding/V-36439

    Curious if anyone else has any input on the topic of disabling it..
