Detailed Description

This provides the ability to repair accounts in the ‘Tainted’ state by synchronizing the account password stored in Active Directory (AD) with the password stored in the AD Identity Service. If successful, this results in the account state being reset to ‘Available’ so it can be consumed by other Machine Creation Services.

If the current account password is not supplied using the Password or SecurePassword Parameters, this requires the user who initiated the runspace to have the required permissions in AD to reset the AD account password. If the current user does not have sufficient privileges, the ADUserName and ADPassword parameters may be used instead.

If the current account password is supplied then this command will use the password change operation which does not require any elevated permissions in AD.

Parameters

Name Description Required? Pipeline Input Default Value
ADAccountName The names of the AD accounts that are to be repaired. AD accounts are accepted in the following formats: Fully qualified DN e.g. CN=MyComputer,OU=Computers,DC=MyDomain,DC=Com; UPN format e.g MyComputer@MyDomain.Com; Domain qualified e.g MyDomain\MyComputer. true false

Force Indicates whether accounts that are marked as ‘in-use’ can be repaired or not. false false
