Examples
---------- Example 1: Configure key for first device ----------
This command configures the device to generate and use a new service data encryption key. To change encryption keys on your devices, run this command on the first device. The cmdlet generates a password to use on other devices.
PS C:\> Invoke-HcsmServiceDataEncryptionKeyChange
---------- Example 2: Configure key for subsequent devices ----------
The first command uses the ConvertTo-SecureString cmdlet to convert a plaintext password into a secure string, and then stores the result in the $passKey variable. For more information, type Get-Help ConvertTo-SecureString
. The password that the command converts is the password that you generated on the first device, as in the previous example.
The second command uses the current cmdlet to configure the device to use the new service data encryption key. The command specifies the password stored in $passKey.
PS C:\> $passKey = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "Password" -AsPlainText -Force
PS C:\> Invoke-HcsmServiceDataEncryptionKeyChange –ServiceDataEncryptionKey $passKey
