Examples¶

Example 1¶

Publish-VcenterLocalPasswordExpiration -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -allDomains

This example returns password expiration policy for each local user of vCenter Server for all workload domains.

Example 2¶

Publish-VcenterLocalPasswordExpiration -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -workloadDomain sfo-w01 -drift -reportPath "F:\Reporting" -policyFile "passwordPolicyConfig.json"

This example returns password expiration policy for each local user of vCenter Server and checks the configuration drift using the provided configuration JSON.

Example 3¶

Publish-VcenterLocalPasswordExpiration -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -workloadDomain sfo-w01 -drift

This example returns password expiration policy for each local user of vCenter Server and compares the configuration against the product defaults.
