NAME Get-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicySubject
SYNOPSIS
Gets the users and groups to which a fine grained password policy is applied.
SYNTAX
Get-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicySubject [-Identity] <ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy> [-AuthType {Negotiate | Basic}]
[-Credential <PSCredential>] [-Server <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Get- ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicySubject cmdlet gets users and groups that are subject to a fine grained
password policy.
The Identity parameter specifies the fine grained password policy. You can identify a fine grained password policy
by its distinguished name, GUID or name. You can also set the Identity parameter to a fine grained password policy
object variable, such as $<localPasswordPolicyObject>, or pass a fine grained password policy object through the
pipeline to the Identity parameter. For example, you can use the Get-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy cmdlet to
retrieve a fine grained password policy object and then pass the object through the pipeline to the Get-
ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicySubject cmdlet.
PARAMETERS
-AuthType <ADAuthType>
Specifies the authentication method to use. Possible values for this parameter include:
Negotiate or 0
Basic or 1
The default authentication method is Negotiate.
A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection is required for the Basic authentication method.
The following example shows how to set this parameter to Basic.
-AuthType Basic
Required? false
Position? named
Default value Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.AuthType.Negotiate
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Credential <PSCredential>
Specifies the user account credentials to use to perform this task. The default credentials are the
credentials of the currently logged on user unless the cmdlet is run from an Active Directory PowerShell
provider drive. If the cmdlet is run from such a provider drive, the account associated with the drive is the
default.
To specify this parameter, you can type a user name, such as "User1" or "Domain01\\User01" or you can specify a
PSCredential object. If you specify a user name for this parameter, the cmdlet prompts for a password.
You can also create a PSCredential object by using a script or by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. You can
then set the Credential parameter to the PSCredential object The following example shows how to create
credentials.
$AdminCredentials = Get-Credential "Domain01\\User01"
The following shows how to set the Credential parameter to these credentials.
-Credential $AdminCredentials
If the acting credentials do not have directory-level permission to perform the task, Active Directory
PowerShell returns a terminating error.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Identity <ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy>
Specifies an Active Directory fine-grained password policy object by providing one of the following property
values. The identifier in parentheses is the LDAP display name for the attribute.
Distinguished Name (distinguishedName)
Example: CN=Strict Password Policy,CN=Password Settings Container,CN=System,DC=corp,DC=contoso,DC=com
GUID (objectGUID)
Example: 599c3d2e-f72d-4d20-8a88-030d99495f20
Name (name)
Example: PasswordPolicyLevel1
The cmdlet searches the default naming context or partition to find the object. If two or more objects are
found, the cmdlet returns a non-terminating error.
This parameter can also get this object through the pipeline or you can set this parameter to a fine-grained
password policy object instance.
This example shows how to set the parameter to a distinguished name.
-Identity "CN=Strict Password Policy,CN=Password Settings Container,CN=System,DC=corp,DC=contoso,DC=com"
This example shows how to set this parameter to a fine-grained password policy object instance named
"fineGrainedPasswordPolicyInstance".
-Identity $fineGrainedPasswordPolicyInstance
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Server <String>
Specifies the Active Directory Domain Services instance to connect to, by providing one of the following
values for a corresponding domain name or directory server. The service may be any of the following: Active
Directory Lightweight Domain Services, Active Directory Domain Services or Active Directory Snapshot instance.
Domain name values:
Fully qualified domain name
Examples: corp.contoso.com
NetBIOS name
Example: CORP
Directory server values:
Fully qualified directory server name
Example: corp-DC12.corp.contoso.com
NetBIOS name
Example: corp-DC12
Fully qualified directory server name and port
Example: corp-DC12.corp.contoso.com:3268
The default value for the Server parameter is determined by one of the following methods in the order that
they are listed:
-By using Server value from objects passed through the pipeline.
-By using the server information associated with the Active Directory PowerShell provider drive, when running
under that drive.
-By using the domain of the computer running Windows PowerShell.
The following example shows how to specify a full qualified domain name as the parameter value.
-Server "corp.contoso.com"
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
INPUTS
Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy
A fine grained password policy object is received by the Identity parameter.
OUTPUTS
Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADPrincipal
Returns principal objects that represent the users and groups to which the fine grained password policy is
applied.
NOTES
This cmdlet does not work with AD LDS.
This cmdlet does not work when targeting a snapshot using the Server parameter.
