NAME Remove-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy
SYNOPSIS
Removes an Active Directory fine grained password policy.
SYNTAX
Remove-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy [-Identity] <ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy> [-AuthType {Negotiate | Basic}]
[-Credential <PSCredential>] [-Server <String>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Remove-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy cmdlet removes an Active Directory fine grained password policy.
The Identity parameter specifies the Active Directory fine grained password policy to remove. You can identify a
fine grained password policy by its distinguished name, or GUID. You can also set the Identity parameter to a fine
grained password object variable, such as $<localFineGrainedPasswordPolicyObject>, or you can 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 Remove-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy 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 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
-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value false
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value false
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
None or Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy
A fine grained password policy object is received by the Identity parameter.
OUTPUTS
None
NOTES
This cmdlet does not work with AD LDS.
This cmdlet does not work with an Active Directory Snapshot.
This cmdlet does not work with a read-only domain controller.
By default, this cmdlet has the -Confirm parameter set, which prompts you to confirm before a removal of the
specified object type can occur. To bypass prompting for confirmation before removal, you can specify
-Confirm:$false when using this cmdlet.
