Too Many Admins in the Mac

<Long, boring background removed. You know the story by now.>

We got caught by the Jamf Pro LAPS cutover. Now, we have three different admin accounts on a laptop that's been run through pre-stage enrollment (PSE) and two on user-initiated enrollments (UIEs). 

  • PSE admin / jamf binary admin
    • created in the PSE config
    • needed for the PSE process
    • no longer randomizes and manages its own password as it did in pre-LAPS days
    • does not work with LAPS, so we need to manage this account password
  • UIE admin
    • work with LAPS
  • "Support" admin
    • Jamf support told us we should create this as a break-glass option if LAPS fails on the UIE admin
    • apparently, the PSE / jamf binary admin account won't work for this purpose for $REASONS
    • we need to manage this account password

How do y'all manage all of these admin accounts, or any pointers to how-to resources? 

While I was looking forward to getting LAPS functionality, I don't see this LAPS implementation as anywhere near a win at the moment, and I would love to disable it.

Thanks,
Pete
