A simple WPF interface for Active Directory user password reset.
This script requires the Active Directory module.
Password are automatically generated using the function New-Password. If the password is at least 4 characters long, then it will always contain a lowercase letter, an uppercase letter, a number and a special character.
To avoid confusion between certain characters, some letters and numbers are not used for password generation. This is the case for the following characters:
- Lower-case "L"
- Upper-case "I"
- Upper-case "O"
- Digit "0"
The list of special characters used is as follows: ! # $ % & * + - . / = ? @ _.
The script will automatically adapt to your Default Domain password policy and Fine-grained password policies. However, The minimum value of the slider for password length cannot be lower than 10, even if your password policy allows it. The maximum length available for password generation will be: minimum length + 16 characters.
For example, if your password policy is set to 12 characters minimum, the minimum value will be 12 and the maximum value will be 28 (12+16).
Reminder: Authenticated Users do not have access to fine-grained password policies by default. How to display fine-grained password policy settings to Authenticated Users? - Synergix Support.
Invoke this parameter to prevent the script from hidding the console.
Invoke this parameter to use a more secure way to get random items (using Get-SecureRandom or an equivalent). This method is slower than the standard method using Get-Random.
Modify the date format of the properties "Password last set" and "Last bad password attempt". You can use a .NET format specifier. Learn more here: Custom date and time format strings | Microsoft Learn.
