Hello,

I am trying to get a script together for resetting passwords for all the users in a specific OU however I want to exclude 4 accounts from the process as they have static accounts. Also the password would have to be set to change on next logon again making sure the 4 accounts are excluded.

Does anyone know how to do this?

My Attempt is:



Basically the where clause is looking for some generic accounts with headteacher, cog, technical, and admin in them the rest of the passwords can be changed to whatever password is set.

Many Thanks

James

This will set the SAME password for all $OU members and require them to reset their password at next logon,
except for those that their samAccountName is present in $exclude.

$exclude = "admin" , "cog" , "technical" , "headteacher"
Get-QADUser -SearchScope $OU | Where-Object { $exclude -notcontains $_.samAccountName } | Set-QADUser -UserMustChangePassword $true -UserPassword 'P@ssw0rd'

So basically so I understant correctly if any part of there same account name is equal to anything in exclude then it will just ignore it?

Many Thanks

James

Correct.

Thank you for the clarrification! :)
