DESCRIPTION
The Set-ADCentralAccessPolicy cmdlet can be used to modify a central access policy in Active Directory.
PARAMETERS
-Add <Hashtable>
Specifies values to add to an object property. Use this parameter to add one or more values to a property that
cannot be modified using a cmdlet parameter. To modify an object property, you must use the LDAP display name.
You can specify multiple values to a property by specifying a comma-separated list of values and more than one
property by separating them using a semicolon.. The format for this parameter is
-Add @{Attribute1LDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...; Attribute2LDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...;
AttributeNLDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...}
For example, if you want to remove the value "555-222-2222" and add the values "555-222-1111" and
"555-222-3333" to Phone-Office-Other attribute (LDAP display name 'otherTelephone'), and add the value
"555-222-9999" to Phone-Mobile-Other (LDAP display name 'otherMobile'), set the Add and Remove parameters as
follows.
-Add @{otherTelephone='555-222-1111', '555-222-3333'; otherMobile='555-222-9999' } -Remove
@{otherTelephone='555-222-2222'}
When you use the Add, Remove, Replace and Clear parameters together, the operations will be performed in the
following order:
..Remove
..Add
..Replace
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-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.

-AuthType Basic
Required? false
Position? named
Default value Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.AuthType.Negotiate
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Clear <String[]>
Specifies an array of object properties that will be cleared in the directory. Use this parameter to clear one
or more values of a property that cannot be modified using a cmdlet parameter. To modify an object property,
you must use the LDAP display name. You can modify more than one property by specifying a comma-separated
list. The format for this parameter is
-Clear Attribute1LDAPDisplayName, Attribute2LDAPDisplayName
For example, if you want to clear the value for the Phone-Office-Other attribute (LDAP display name
'otherTelephone') set the Clear parameter as follows.
-Clear otherTelephone
When you use the Add, Remove, Replace and Clear parameters together, the operations will be performed in the
following order:
..Remove
..Add
..Replace
..Clear
Required? 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
-Description <String>
Specifies a description of the object. This parameter sets the value of the Description property for the
object. The LDAP Display Name (ldapDisplayName) for this property is "description".
The following example shows how to set this parameter to a sample description.
-Description "Description of the object"
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Identity <ADCentralAccessPolicy>
Specifies an Active Directory object by providing one of the following property values. The identifier in
parentheses is the LDAP display name for the attribute.
Distinguished Name
Example: CN=Finance Policy,CN=Central Access Policies,CN=Claims
Configuration,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=corp,DC=contoso,DC=com
GUID (objectGUID)
Example: 599c3d2e-f72d-4d20-8a88-030d99495f20

-Identity $ADObjectInstance
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Instance <ADCentralAccessPolicy>
Specifies a modified copy of a central access policy object to use to update the actual central access policy
object. When this parameter is used, any modifications made to the modified copy of the object are also made
to the corresponding central access policy object. The cmdlet only updates the object properties that have
changed.
The Instance parameter can only update central access policy objects that have been retrieved by using the
Get-ADCentralAccessPolicy cmdlet. When you specify the Instance parameter, you cannot specify other
parameters that set properties on the object.
The following is an example of how to use the Get-ADCentralAccessPolicy cmdlet to retrieve an instance of the
object. The object is modified by using the Windows PowerShell command line. Then the
Set-ADCentralAccessPolicy cmdlet saves the changes to the Active Directory object.
Step 1: Retrieve a local instance of the object.
$objectInstance = Get-ADCentralAccessPolicy -Identity "Finance Policy"
Step 2: Modify one or more properties of the object instance.
$objectInstance.Description = "For finance only."
Step3: Save your changes to the object
Set-ADCentralAccessPolicy -Instance $objectInstance
Required? true
Position? named
Default value

of a property that cannot be modified using a cmdlet parameter. To remove an object property, you must use the
LDAP display name. You can remove more than one property by specifying a semicolon-separated list. The format
for this parameter is
-Remove @{Attribute1LDAPDisplayName=value[]; Attribute2LDAPDisplayName=value[]}
For example, if you want to add the values blue and green and remove the value pink from a property with a
LDAP display name of FavColors, set the Add and Remove parameters as follows.
-Add @{FavColors=Blue,Green} -Remove {FavColors=Pink}
When you use the Add, Remove, Replace and Clear parameters together, the parameters will be applied in the
