# Update-EsxiPasswordExpiration

## Synopsis

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

## Syntax

```powershell
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 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 expiration policy for all ESXi hosts in the cluster

## Examples

### Example 1

```powershell
Update-EsxiPasswordExpiration -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -domain sfo-m01 -cluster sfo-m01-cl01 -maxDays 999
```

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

### Example 2

```powershell
Update-EsxiPasswordExpiration -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -domain sfo-m01 -cluster sfo-m01-cl01 -maxDays 999 -detail false
```

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