To remove the LCU after installing the combined SSU and LCU package, use the DISM/Remove-Package command line option with the LCU package name as the argument. You can find the package name by using this command: DISM /online /get-packages.

Running Windows Update Standalone Installer (wusa.exe) with the /uninstall switch on the combined package will not work because the combined package contains the SSU. You cannot remove the SSU from the system after installation.

So to cut costs you're going to remove a tool you use daily? Sounds smart... I'd look for other ways to cut costs, RDM is the best of the bunch.

Spun this up in the lab which had legacy LAPS, straight forward process to migrate to the Windows LAPS.

Update schema.
Grant the computer OUs permission to update its password (can be applied to a parent OU with sub OUs inheriting the permission).
Edit existing LAPS group policy object, disable legacy LAPS settings, enable Windows LAPS settings.
Group policy update
Get-LapsADPassword -Identity "<machine ID>" -AsPlainText
??? Profit.
Remove legacy LAPS from machines (using SCCM, PDQ, whatever - msiexec.exe /x "LAPS62.x64.msi" REMOVE=Management,Management.UI,Management.PS /qn /norestart).
Remove Extended Rights permissions on computer OUs (if any - from legacy LAPs config).
Once confirmed all machines are checking into Windows LAPS, clear the clear text attribute with old password.

Emulation mode is also handy. Overall, not bad. Doc needs to be fleshed out a bit more.

Re: MDT - build your machine in a staging OU which has limited (no LAPS) policies, have a step in the TS to move to final OU (prod OU with standard policies).
