Reset-ADServiceAccountPassword

powershell

Reset-ADServiceAccountPassword is accessible with the help of addsadministration module. To install addsadministration on your system please refer to this link.

Synopsis

Resets the password for a standalone managed service account. Reset is not supported for group managed service accounts.

Description

The Reset-ADServiceAccountPassword cmdlet resets the password for the standalone managed service account (MSA) on the local computer. This cmdlet needs to be run on the computer where the standalone MSA is installed.

The Identity parameter specifies the Active Directory standalone MSA that receives the password reset. You can identify a MSA by its distinguished name (DN), GUID, security identifier (SID) or Security Accounts Manager (SAM) account name. You can also set the Identity parameter to a MSA object variable, such as $, or pass a MSA object through the pipeline to the Identity parameter. For example, you can use the Get-ADServiceAccount cmdlet to retrieve a standalone MSA object and then pass the object through the pipeline to the Reset-ADServiceAccountPassword cmdlet.

Note: When you reset the password for a computer, you also reset all of the standalone MSA passwords for that computer.
