Description¶
The Request-EsxiAccountLockout
cmdlet retrieves a list of ESX hosts for a cluster displaying the currently configured account lockout policy (Advanced Settings Security.AccountLockFailures
and Security.AccountUnlockTime
).
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
- Gathers the ESX hosts for the cluster specified
- Retrieves the account lockout policy for all ESX hosts in the cluster
Examples¶
Example 1¶
Request-EsxiAccountLockout -server [sddc_manager_fqdn] -user [admin_username] -pass [admin_password] -domain [workload_domain_name] -cluster [cluster_name]
This example retrieves the account lockout policy for all ESX hosts in the cluster in the workload domain.
Example 2¶
Request-EsxiAccountLockout -server [sddc_manager_fqdn] -user [admin_username] -pass [admin_password] -domain [workload_domain_name] -cluster [cluster_name] -drift -reportPath [report_path] -policyFile [policy_file].json
This example retrieves the account lockout policy for all ESX hosts in the cluster in the workload domain and checks the configuration drift using the provided configuration JSON.
Example 3¶
Request-EsxiAccountLockout -server [sddc_manager_fqdn] -user [admin_username] -pass [admin_password] -domain [workload_domain_name] -cluster [cluster_name] -drift
This example retrieves the account lockout policy for all ESX hosts in the cluster in the workload domain and compares the configuration against the product defaults.
