[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Get-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy cmdlet gets a fine-grained password policy or performs a search to retrieve multiple fine-grained password policies.
The Identity parameter specifies the Active Directory fine-grained password policy to get.
You can identify a fine-grained password policy by its distinguished name, GUID or name.
You can also set the parameter to a fine-grained password policy object variable, such as $<localFineGrainedPasswordPolicyObject> or pass a fine-grained password policy object through the pipeline operator to the Identity parameter.
To search for and retrieve more than one fine-grained password policies, use the Filter or LDAPFilter parameters.
The Filter parameter uses Windows PowerShell Expression Language to write query strings for Active Directory.
Windows PowerShell Expression Language syntax provides rich type conversion support for value types received by the Filter parameter.
For more information about the Filter parameter syntax, type Get-Help about_ActiveDirectory_Filter.
If you have existing Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) query strings, you can use the LDAPFilter parameter.
This cmdlet retrieves a default set of fine-grained password policy object properties. To retrieve additional properties use the Properties parameter. For more information about the how to determine the properties for FineGrainedPasswordPolicy objects, see the Properties parameter description.

Parameters
-AuthType
Specifies the authentication method to use. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- Negotiate or 0
- Basic or 1
The default authentication method is Negotiate.
A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection is required for the Basic authentication method.
| Type: | ADAuthType |
| Accepted values: | Negotiate, Basic |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Credential
Specifies the user account credentials to use to perform this task. The default credentials are the credentials of the currently logged on user unless the cmdlet is run from an Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell provider drive. If the cmdlet is run from such a provider drive, the account associated with the drive is the default.
To specify this parameter, you can type a user name, such as User1 or Domain01\User01 or you can specify a PSCredential object. If you specify a user name for this parameter, the cmdlet prompts for a password.
You can also create a PSCredential object by using a script or by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. You can then set the Credential parameter to the PSCredential object.
If the acting credentials do not have directory-level permission to perform the task, Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell returns a terminating error.
| Type: | PSCredential |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Filter
Specifies a query string that retrieves Active Directory objects.
This string uses the PowerShell Expression Language syntax.
The PowerShell Expression Language syntax provides rich type-conversion support for value types received by the Filter parameter.
The syntax uses an in-order representation, which means that the operator is placed between the operand and the value.
For more information about the Filter parameter, type Get-Help about_ActiveDirectory_Filter.
Syntax:
The following syntax uses Backus-Naur form to show how to use the PowerShell Expression Language for this parameter.
<filter> ::= "{" <FilterComponentList> "}"
<FilterComponentList> ::= <FilterComponent> | <FilterComponent> <JoinOperator> <FilterComponent> | <NotOperator> <FilterComponent>
<FilterComponent> ::= <attr> <FilterOperator> <value> | "(" <FilterComponent> ")"
<FilterOperator> ::= "-eq" | "-le" | "-ge" | "-ne" | "-lt" | "-gt"| "-approx" | "-bor" | "-band" | "-recursivematch" | "-like" | "-notlike"
<JoinOperator> ::= "-and" | "-or"
<NotOperator> ::= "-not"
<attr> ::= <PropertyName> | <LDAPDisplayName of the attribute>
<value>::= <compare this value with an <attr> by using the specified <FilterOperator>>
For a list of supported types for <value>, type Get-Help about_ActiveDirectory_ObjectModel.
Note: PowerShell wildcards other than *, such as ?, are not supported by the Filter syntax.
Note: To query using LDAP query strings, use the LDAPFilter parameter.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Identity
Specifies an Active Directory fine-grained password policy object by providing one of the following property values. The identifier in parentheses is the LDAP display name for the attribute. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- A distinguished name
- A GUID (objectGUID)
The cmdlet searches the default naming context or partition to find the object. If two or more objects are found, the cmdlet returns a non-terminating error.
This parameter can also get this object through the pipeline or you can set this parameter to a fine-grained password policy object instance.
| Type: | ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy |
| Position: | 0 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-LDAPFilter
Specifies an LDAP query string that is used to filter Active Directory objects.
You can use this parameter to run your existing LDAP queries.
The Filter parameter syntax supports the same functionality as the LDAP syntax.
For more information, see the Filter parameter description or type Get-Help about_ActiveDirectory_Filter.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Properties
Specifies the properties of the output object to retrieve from the server. Use this parameter to retrieve properties that are not included in the default set.
Specify properties for this parameter as a comma-separated list of names. To display all of the attributes that are set on the object, specify * (asterisk).
To specify an individual extended property, use the name of the property. For properties that are not default or extended properties, you must specify the LDAP display name of the attribute.
To retrieve properties and display them for an object, you can use the Get-* cmdlet associated with the object and pass the output to the Get-Member cmdlet.
| Type: | String[] |
| Aliases: | Property |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ResultPageSize
Specifies the number of objects to include in one page for an Active Directory Domain Services query.
The default is 256 objects per page.
| Type: | Int32 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ResultSetSize
Specifies the maximum number of objects to return for an Active Directory Domain Services query. If you want to receive all of the objects, set this parameter to $Null (null value). You can use Ctrl+C to stop the query and return of objects.
The default is $Null.
| Type: | Int32 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-SearchBase
Specifies an Active Directory path to search under.
When you run a cmdlet from an Active Directory provider drive, the default value of this parameter is the current path of the drive.
When you run a cmdlet outside of an Active Directory provider drive against an Active Directory Domain Services target, the default value of this parameter is the default naming context of the target domain.
When you run a cmdlet outside of an Active Directory provider drive against an Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) target, the default value is the default naming context of the target LDS instance if one has been specified by setting the msDS-defaultNamingContext property of the Active Directory directory service agent (DSA) object (nTDSDSA) for the AD LDS instance. If no default naming context is specified for the target AD LDS instance, then this parameter has no default value.
When the value of the SearchBase parameter is set to an empty string and you are connected to a global catalog port, all partitions are searched. If the value of the SearchBase parameter is set to an empty string and you are not connected to a global catalog port, an error is thrown.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-SearchScope
Specifies the scope of an Active Directory search. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- Base or 0
- OneLevel or 1

Specify the Active Directory Domain Services instance in one of the following ways:
Domain name values:
- Fully qualified domain name
- NetBIOS name
Directory server values:
- Fully qualified directory server name
- NetBIOS name
- Fully qualified directory server name and port
The default value for this parameter is determined by one of the following methods in the order that they are listed:
- By using the Server value from objects passed through the pipeline
- By using the server information associated with the Active Directory Domain Services Windows PowerShell provider drive, when the cmdlet runs in that drive
- By using the domain of the computer running Windows PowerShell
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Inputs

A fine-grained password policy is received by the Identity parameter.
Outputs
This cmdlet returns one or more fine-grained password policy objects.
This cmdlet returns a default set of ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy property values. To retrieve additional ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy properties, use the Properties parameter.
To view the properties for an ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy object, see the following examples. To run these examples, replace <fine grained password policy> with a fine-grained password policy identifier such as the name of your local fine-grained password policy.
To get a list of the default set of properties of an ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy object, use the following command:
Get-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy<fine grained password policy>| Get-Member
To get a list of all the properties of an ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy object, use the following command:
Get-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy<fine grained password policy>-Properties * | Get-Member
Notes
- This cmdlet does not work with AD LDS.
- This cmdlet does not work when targeting a snapshot using the Server parameter.
