Publish-EsxiPasswordPolicy¶
Synopsis¶
Publishes the password policies for ESXi hosts for a workload domain or all workload domains.
Syntax¶
All-WorkloadDomains¶
Publish-EsxiPasswordPolicy -server <String> -user <String> -pass <String> -policy <String> [-allDomains] [-drift] [-reportPath <String>] [-policyFile <String>] [-json] [<CommonParameters>]
Specific-WorkloadDomain¶
Publish-EsxiPasswordPolicy -server <String> -user <String> -pass <String> -policy <String> -workloadDomain <String> [-drift] [-reportPath <String>] [-policyFile <String>] [-json] [<CommonParameters>]
Description¶
The Publish-EsxiPasswordPolicy cmdlet retrieves the requested password policy for all ESXi hosts and convert the output to HTML.
The cmdlet connects to SDDC Manager using the -server, -user, and -pass values:
- Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to SDDC Manager
- Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to vCenter Server
- Retrieves the requested password policy for all ESXi hosts and converts to HTML
Examples¶
Example 1¶
Publish-EsxiPasswordPolicy -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -policy PasswordExpiration -allDomains
This example returns password expiration policy for all ESXi hosts across all for a workload domain.
Example 2¶
Publish-EsxiPasswordPolicy -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -policy PasswordExpiration -workloadDomain sfo-w01
This example returns password expiration policy for all ESXi hosts for a workload domain.
Example 3¶
Publish-EsxiPasswordPolicy -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -policy PasswordComplexity -allDomains
This example returns password complexity policy for all ESXi hosts across all for a workload domain.
Example 4¶
Publish-EsxiPasswordPolicy -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -policy PasswordComplexity -workloadDomain sfo-w01
This example returns password complexity policy for all ESXi hosts for a workload domain.
Example 5¶
Publish-EsxiPasswordPolicy -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -policy AccountLockout -allDomains
This example returns account lockout policy for all ESXi hosts across all for a workload domain.
Example 6¶
Publish-EsxiPasswordPolicy -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -policy AccountLockout -workloadDomain sfo-w01
This example returns account lockout policy for all ESXi hosts for a workload domain.
Example 7¶
Publish-EsxiPasswordPolicy -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -policy PasswordExpiration -workloadDomain sfo-w01 -drift -reportPath "F:\Reporting" -policyFile "passwordPolicyConfig.json"
This example returns password expiration policy for all ESXi hosts across all for a workload domain and compares the configuration against the passwordPolicyConfig.json file.
Example 8¶
Publish-EsxiPasswordPolicy -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -policy PasswordExpiration -workloadDomain sfo-w01 -drift
This example returns password expiration policy for all ESXi hosts across all for a workload domain and compares the configuration against the product defaults.
