Update-EsxiPasswordComplexity¶

Synopsis¶

Updates ESXi password complexity policy.

Syntax¶

Update-EsxiPasswordComplexity [-server] <String> [-user] <String> [-pass] <String> [-domain] <String> [-cluster] <String> [-policy] <String> [-history] <Int32> [[-detail] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Description¶

The Update-EsxiPasswordComplexity cmdlet configures the password complexity 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 password complexity policy for all ESXi hosts in the cluster

Examples¶

Example 1¶

Update-EsxiPasswordComplexity -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -domain sfo-m01 -cluster sfo-m01-cl01 -policy "retry=5 min=disabled,disabled,disabled,disabled,15" -history 5

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

Example 2¶

Update-EsxiPasswordComplexity -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -domain sfo-m01 -cluster sfo-m01-cl01 -policy "retry=5 min=disabled,disabled,disabled,disabled,15" -history 5 -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.
