Creation of Azure KeyVault and Log Analytics Workspace

  1. Logon to Azure
  2. Create Resource Group or use an existing
  3. Create a KeyVault in a region of your choice
  4. Set Permissions in your KeyVault using RBAC
  5. Create a Log Analytics workspace [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/logs/quick-create-workspace?tabs=azure-portal]

Creating a parameters file

  1. Run createConfig.ps1 to create a sample configuration file
  2. Modify parameters as needed
  3. Rename config template file to CloudLAPS.xml, this file should be in the same folder where the script resides/is run from.

Installation of CloudLAPS.ps1

  1. On a test computer, create a folder like C:\Temp\CloudLAPS
  2. Clone this repo or download the CloudLAPS.ps1 file
  3. Copy the xml file using CloudLAPS.xml file name into the same folder.
  4. Open a powershell prompt, change to the folder and run the script.
  5. Check the local Application log file for a succesful result
  6. Check the Log Analytics workspace for activity **
  7. Check the Key Vault for the updated secret
  8. If all works, create a Scheduled Task that runs this script as SYSTEM with the desired frequency.

TODO:

  1. Switch to Managed Identity authentication (Azure VM and Arc Onboarded Servers).
