Cyberattack is one of the fastest growing crimes in the world, we have seen passwords being leaked regularly, local administrator account is like God of machine, it has superpower to do anything for the machine. A lot of IT guys simply use the same password for all local administrator accounts, the attacker easy access to the whole estate if one machine is breached.

Passwords are stored in Active Directory (AD) and protected by ACL, so only eligible users can read it or request its reset. Today, I am going to show you how to deploy it.
