Description

This cmdlet contains more than one parameter set. You may only use parameters from one parameter set and you may not combine parameters from different parameter sets. For more information about how to use parameter sets, see Cmdlet parameter sets.

The Set-SPManagedAccount cmdlet sets the properties on the given managed account.

You can use this cmdlet to change the password expiration and notification settings for the managed account: Use the default parameter set. Additionally, you can use this cmdlet to change the password for the managed account to automatically generated passwords on a set schedule: Use the parameter set that includes the AutoGeneratePassword parameter. You can also use this cmdlet to change the password for the managed account to a new value, known to the administrator: Use the parameter set that includes the SetNewPassword parameter. Finally, you can use this cmdlet to change the password for the managed account to an existing value that has been already been changed in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS): Use the parameter set that includes the UseExistingPassword parameter.

For permissions and the most current information about Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Products, see the online documentation at SharePoint Server Cmdlets.

Examples

------------------EXAMPLE-----------------------

$m = Get-SPManagedAccount -Identity "DOMAINx\UserY"
Set-SPManagedAccount -Identity $m -AutoGeneratePassword true

This example displays an explicit managed account if it exists and then attempts to update it to use automatically generated passwords.

Parameters

-AssignmentCollection

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
