Hi, I saw that Hexnode will now support LAPS for both Windows and macOS under a unified console. Can someone explain how this works in practice? https://www.hexnode.com/forums/topic/macos-laps-is-almost-here/

Yeah, I saw it as well. Windows LAPS makes sense, but what about macOS? Is it the same approach?

I’m pretty sure the core principle is the same, but macOS LAPS is tailored specifically for macOS. It secures local admin access by automatically rotating administrator passwords and reducing exposure, just like on Windows. On macOS, it also offers both Basic and Advanced LAPS options.

I’m guessing, we could start with Basic LAPS on Macs and still manage Windows LAPS alongside it?

Exactly. Whether you want a simple secure baseline or granular control, unified LAPS lets you manage admin credentials across Windows and macOS with minimal effort.

That’s helpful, one less security gap between platforms.
