Set-ADDomain
Synopsis
Description
The Identity parameter specifies the domain to modify. You can identify a domain by its distinguished name (DN), GUID, security identifier (SID), DNS domain name, or NetBIOS name. You can also set the Identity parameter to an object variable such as $, or you can pass an object through the pipeline to the Identity parameter. For example, you can use the Get-ADDomain cmdlet to retrieve a domain object and then pass the object through the pipeline to the Set-ADDomain cmdlet.
The Instance parameter provides a way to update a domain object by applying the changes made to a copy of the domain object. When you set the Instance parameter to a copy of an Active Directory domain object that has been modified, the Set-ADDomain cmdlet makes the same changes to the original domain object. To get a copy of the object to modify, use the Get-ADDomain object. When you specify the Instance parameter you should not pass the identity parameter. For more information about the Instance parameter, see the Instance parameter description.
-By specifying the Identity and the ManagedBy parameters
-By passing a domain object through the pipeline and specifying the ManagedBy parameter
-By specifying the Instance parameter.
Method 1: Modify the ManagedBy property for the London domain by using the Identity and ManagedBy parameters.
Set-ADDomain -Identity London -ManagedBy RaviS
Method 2: Modify the ManagedBy property for the London domain by passing the London domain through the pipeline and specifying the ManagedBy parameter.
Get-ADDomain London | Set-ADDomain -ManagedBy RaviS
Method 3: Modify the ManagedBy property for the London domain by using the Windows PowerShell command line to modify a local instance of the London domain. Then set the Instance parameter to the local instance.
$domain = Get-ADDomain London
$domain.ManagedBy = RaviS
Set-ADDomain -Instance $domain.
Parameters
-Add
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
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-AllowedDNSSuffixes <Hashtable>
Modifies the list of domain name server (DNS) suffixes that are allowed in a domain. This parameter sets the value of the msDS-AllowedDNSSuffixes attribute of the domainDNS object. This parameter uses the following syntax to add, remove, replace, or clear DNS suffix values.
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:
Required? false

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
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
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.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Identity <ADDomain>
Specifies an Active Directory domain object by providing one of the following property values. The identifier in parentheses is the LDAP display name for the attribute. All values are for the domainDNS object that represents the domain.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Instance <ADDomain>
Specifies a modified copy of a domain object to use to update the actual Active Directory domain object. When this parameter is used, any modifications made to the modified copy of the object are also made to the corresponding Active Directory object. The cmdlet only updates the object properties that have changed.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-LastLogonReplicationInterval <TimeSpan>
Specifies the time, in days, within which the last logon time of an account must be replicated across all domain controllers in the domain. This parameter sets the LastLogonReplicationInterval property for a domain. The LDAP display name (ldapDisplayName) for this property is msDS-LogonTimeSyncInterval. The last logon replication interval must be at least one day. Setting the last logon replication interval to a low value can significantly increase domain-wide replication.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ManagedBy <ADPrincipal>
Specifies the user or group that manages the object by providing one of the following property values. Note: The identifier in parentheses is the LDAP display name for the property.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false

-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Returns the new or modified object. By default (i.e. if -PassThru is not specified), this cmdlet does not generate any output.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value

Accept wildcard characters? false
-Remove <Hashtable>
Specifies that the cmdlet remove values of an object property. Use this parameter to remove one or more values 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
Required? false
