The Set-AzVMAccessExtension cmdlet adds the Virtual Machine Access (VMAccess) Virtual Machine VMAccess Extension to a virtual machine. VMAccess Extension can be used to set a temporary password and this should be immediately changed it after logging into the machine. This is not supported on Windows Domain Controllers.
Examples
Example 1: Add a VMAccess extension
Set-AzVMAccessExtension -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup11" -Location "Central US" -VMName "VirtualMachine07" -Name "ContosoTest" -TypeHandlerVersion "2.4"This command adds a VMAccess extension for the virtual machine named VirtualMachine07 in ResourceGroup11. The command specifies the name and type handler version for VMAccess.
Example 2
Adds the VMAccess extension to a virtual machine. (autogenerated)
Set-AzVMAccessExtension -Credential <PSCredential> -Location 'Central US' -Name 'ContosoTest' -ResourceGroupName 'ResourceGroup11' -TypeHandlerVersion '2.4' -VMName 'VirtualMachine07'Parameters

-Credential
Specifies the user name and password for the virtual machine as a PSCredential object.
If you type a different name than the current local administrator account on your VM, the VMAccess extension will add a local administrator account with that name, and assign your specified password to that account. If the local administrator account on your VM exists, it will reset the password and if the account is disabled, the VMAccess extension enables it.
To obtain a credential, use the Get-Credential cmdlet.
