Synopsis¶

Updates the password expiration period in days for all ESX hosts in a cluster.

Syntax¶

Update-EsxiPasswordExpiration [-server] <String> [-user] <String> [-pass] <String> [-domain] <String> [-cluster] <String> [-maxDays] <String> [[-detail] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Description¶

The Update-EsxiPasswordExpiration cmdlet configures the password expiration policy on an ESX host. 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
Configures the password expiration policy for all ESX hosts in the cluster

Examples¶

Example 1¶

Update-EsxiPasswordExpiration -server [sddc_manager_fqdn] -user [admin_username] -pass [admin_password] -domain [workload_domain_name] -cluster [cluster_name] -maxDays 999

This example configures all ESX hosts within the cluster named in the workload domain.

Example 2¶

Update-EsxiPasswordExpiration -server [sddc_manager_fqdn] -user [admin_username] -pass [admin_password] -domain [workload_domain_name] -cluster [cluster_name] -maxDays 999 -detail false

This example configures all ESX hosts within the cluster named in the workload domain but does not show the detail per host.
