Examples

Example 1

Set-LocalPasswordComplexity -vmName sfo-w01-vc01 -guestUser root -guestPassword VMw@re1! -minLength 7 -uppercase 1 -lowercase 1 -numerical 1 -special 1 -unique 5 -history 3

This example updates the vCenter Server sfo-w01-vc01 with new values for each element

Example 2

Set-LocalPasswordComplexity -vmName sfo-w01-vc01 -guestUser root -guestPassword VMw@re1! -minLength 6 -uppercase "-1" -lowercase "-1" -numerical "-1" -special "-1" -unique 4 -history 5

This example updates the vCenter Server sfo-w01-vc01 with the default values

Example 3

Set-LocalPasswordComplexity -vmName sfo-w01-nsx01a -guestUser root -guestPassword VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -nsx -minLength 15 -uppercase "-1" -lowercase "-1" -numerical "-1" -special "-1" -unique 0 -history 5
