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.

-Credential <PSCredential>

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.

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.

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"
