Hello,

Use this first:

$pass = Read-Host "Enter Password" -AsSecureString

Then new $pass after -Password.

Thanks.

Hello,

You can specify a new password and tell the user the new password (and via PowerShell you can have the user reset it after first logon).

Best is of course to use Azure AD authentication where this is handled via Office 365 / Azure.

Thanks.
