Examples

-------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------

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.

C:\PS>Set-RmsSvcAccount -Path .

-------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------

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

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

-------------- EXAMPLE 3 --------------

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.

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