Set-RmsSvcAccount

  • Reference
Module:
ADRMSAdmin

Sets the service account for an AD RMS cluster.

Syntax

Set-RmsSvcAccount
   [-Credential] <PSCredential>
   [-Force]
   [-PassThru]
   [-Path] <String[]>
   [-WhatIf]
   [-Confirm]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Set-RmsSvcAccount cmdlet sets the service account of an Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) cluster.

To specify the service account, set the Credential parameter to the service account credentials, and then set the Path parameter to <PSDrive>:\ where <PSDrive> is the AD RMS provider drive ID.

Examples

Example 1: Modify the service account

PS C:\> Set-RmsSvcAccount -Path "."

This command changes the AD RMS service account. Because the Credential parameter is not used, the Set-RmsSvcAccount cmdlet prompts for the user name and password of the new service account.

Example 2: Modify the service account with specified credentials

PS C:\> Set-RmsSvcAccount -Path "." -Force -PassThru -Credential ITDOMAIN\adrmssvc

This command changes the AD RMS service account. Because the Credential parameter specifies the domain and user name of the account, the Set-RmsSvcAccount cmdlet prompts for the password of the new service account.

Example 3: Get credentials to use to modify a service account

PS C:\> $userAccount = Get-Credential ITDOMAIN\adrmssvc
PS C:\> Set-RmsSvcAccount -Path "." -Force -PassThru -Credential $userAccount

This command uses the Get-Credential cmdlet to prompt for the password for the ITDOMAIN\adrmsvc account and then stores the account credentials securely in a variable, which is then passed to the Set-RmsSvcAccount cmdlet.
