Today's episode is all about LAPS - Microsoft's Local Administrator Password solution. In a nutshell, LAPS strengthens and randomizes the local administrator password on the systems across your enterprise. We talked about it way back in episode 252 but figured it was worth a revisit because:

  • It's awesome

  • It's free

  • People still haven't heard of it when I share info about it during conference talks!

  • I've got a full write-up of how to install LAPS here

  • At a recent conference people asked me two awesome edge case questions:

    • What if I aggressively delete inactive machines from my AD - does the LAPS attribute go with it?

    • What do I do if I use Deep Freeze and the LAPS password attribute in AD keeps getting out of sync with the actual password on systems because of Deep Freeze's freeze/thaw times?

7MS #98: Intro to PCI Scoping

So far I've focused on the technical aspects of PCI, but I'm trying to get familiar with the overall scoping questions that my tenacious QSA friends ask when they start a gap analysis. This episode shares some interesting tidbits I learned while doing some QSA "shadowing" on an assessment of a restaurant.
