Create User in Powershell
Set the username and password
The first command uses the Read-Host
cmdlet to prompt you for a password. The command stores the password as a secure string in the $Password
variable.
The second command creates a local user account and sets the new account's password to the secure string stored in $Password
. The command specifies a user name, full name, and description for the user account.
$Password = Read-Host -AsSecureString
$params = @{
Name = '<username>'
Password = $Password
FullName = 'Full Name'
Description = 'Description of this user.'
}
