Posted on by 249

Hi 

  i want to migrate a customer from BC15 to BC18 (OnPremise, with NavUserPassword authentification)

All works well, except that user password are lost !

I must use Set-NAVServerUser xxx -Password (yyy) to set a new password

What is wrong ?

    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.
