Description

The Set-ADCentralAccessPolicy cmdlet can be used to modify a central access policy in Active Directory.

Examples

Example 1: Update a specified central access policy's description

PS C:\> Set-ADCentralAccessPolicy "Finance Policy" -Description "For the Finance Department."

This command updates the central access policy named Finance Policy to include the description For the Finance Department.

Example 2: Get an existing central access policy and then update its description

PS C:\> Get-ADCentralAccessPolicy "Finance Policy" | Set-ADCentralAccessPolicy -Description "For the Finance Department."

This command gets the central access policy named Finance Policy, and then sets its description to For the Finance Department.

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 Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (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, ...}

When you use the Add, Remove, Replace, and Clear parameters together, the operations is performed in the following order:

  • Remove
  • Add
  • Replace
  • Clear

-Credential

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 module for Windows 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.

If the acting credentials do not have directory-level permission to perform the task, Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell returns a terminating error.

  • A distinguished name
  • A GUID (objectGUID)

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.
