Applies a fine-grained password policy to one more users and groups.
The Add-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicySubject cmdlet applies a fine-grained password policy to one or more global security groups and users.
The Identity parameter specifies the fine-grained password policy to apply. 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 $, 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 get a fine-grained password policy object and then pass the object through the pipeline to the Add-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicySubject cmdlet.
The Subjects parameter specifies the users and global security groups. You can identify a user or global security group by its distinguished name (DN), GUID, security identifier (SID) or Security Accounts Manager (SAM) account name. You can also specify user and global security group object variables, such as $. If you are specifying more than one user or group, use a comma-separated list. To pass user and global security group objects through the pipeline to the Subjects parameter, use the Get-ADUser or the Get-ADGroup cmdlets to retrieve the user or group objects, and then pass these objects through the pipeline to the Add-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicySubject cmdlet.
