DESCRIPTION


The Reset-ADServiceAccountPassword cmdlet resets the password for the standalone managed service account (MSA) on the local computer. This
cmdlet needs to be run on the computer where the standalone MSA is installed.


The Identity parameter specifies the Active Directory standalone MSA that receives the password reset. You can identify a MSA by its
distinguished name (DN), GUID, security identifier (SID) or Security Accounts Manager (SAM) account name. You can also set the Identity
parameter to a MSA object variable, such as $<localServiceAccountObject>, or pass a MSA object through the pipeline to the Identity parameter.
For example, you can use the Get-ADServiceAccount cmdlet to retrieve a standalone MSA object and then pass the object through the pipeline to
the Reset-ADServiceAccountPassword cmdlet.


Note: When you reset the password for a computer, you also reset all of the standalone MSA passwords for that computer.
