How to implement a password change check in Powershell?
I've created a set of开发者_Go百科 virtual machines (Windows Server) with a specific admin password; these VMs have been assigned to users, and may be in use. I want to know if the user changed the admin password, and do the check so the user doesn't notice. What are good solutions in powershell?
You could create a PSCredential, then attempt to get a WmiObject from the host. Something like:
$computerNames = "host1", "host2"
$pw = ConvertTo-SecureString "adminpw" -AsPlainText -Force
foreach($computerName in $computerNames)
{
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential("$computerName\Administrator", $pw)
try
{
Get-WmiObject win32_bios -ComputerName $computerName -Credential $cred
Write-Host "$computerName = Password not changed."
}
catch [System.UnauthorizedAccessException]
{
Write-Host "$computerName = Password changed."
}
}
