Why Windows LAPS only showed the default admin on some new devices (GitHub, opens in a new tab)
Intune reported the LAPS policy as succeeded, yet a few brand-new devices never created the managed account. An Autopatch report gave it away: they had shipped on Windows 11 21H2, and automatic account management needs 24H2 or later.
| 21H2 | 25H2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Backup to Entra ID | ✓ yes | ✓ yes |
| Automatic account | ✗ ignored | ✓ created |
| Account in Entra | Administrator | Custom account |
