@VitaliyYakob Looks fine to me?

@xpn Is it done in one terminal window?
It turns out that "itadmin" already has the rights to decrypt the password.

If I give my account the rights to decrypt, this utility also works for me and shows the password, but then what's the point if you can use get-lapsadpassword?

Because this is a demonstration of how Get-LapsADPassword works under the hood. We often create tools based on the internals of the technique.
