The Update-EsxiAccountLockout cmdlet configures the account lockout policy on ESXi. 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 the workload domain exists in the SDDC Manager inventory
Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to vCenter Server
Gathers the ESXi hosts for the cluster specificed
Configures the account lockout policy for all ESXi hosts in the cluster

Examples¶

Example 1¶

Update-EsxiAccountLockout -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -domain sfo-m01 -cluster sfo-m01-cl01 -failures 5 -unlockInterval 900

This example configures all ESXi hosts within the cluster named sfo-m01-cl01 of the workload domain sfo-m01.

Example 2¶

Update-EsxiAccountLockout -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -domain sfo-m01 -cluster sfo-m01-cl01 -failures 5 -unlockInterval 900 -detail false

This example configures all ESXi hosts within the cluster named sfo-m01-cl01 of the workload domain sfo-m01 but does not show the detail per host.
