LAPS for standard accounts? #85

Curious if this is something you could easily add, the ability to handle password for standard local accounts

Id rather my user get access into the device, so they can connect to the internet/VPN, and then i can fix it remotely.

I'm a little curious why you might want a random password on a standard account as standard accounts don't have administrative rights so the threat those accounts could do any damage is quite minimal. I might be misunderstanding what you are trying to accomplish here but I would think using the admin password temporarily to get into the system and then upon completion triggering a password change would be the ideal situation. If you could provide more detail I'm happy to brainstorm more on this.

Closing issue due to inactivity. This seems out of scope as standard accounts don't necessarily need a random password as they cannot perform administrative commands.
