Description

The New-ADResourceProperty cmdlet creates a resource property in the directory.

Examples

Example 1: Create a resource property

PS C:\> New-ADResourceProperty -DisplayName "Authors" -ResourcePropertyValueType MS-DS-MultivaluedText

This command creates a resource property with the display name Authors. The resource property enables the names of multiple authors to be specified.

Example 2: Create a resource property to include suggested values

PS C:\> $US = New-Object Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADSuggestedValueEntry("US", "United States of America", "United States of America")
PS C:\> $JP = New-Object Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADSuggestedValueEntry("JP", "Japan", "Japan")
PS C:\> New-ADResourceProperty -DisplayName "Country" -ResourcePropertyValueType MS-DS-MultivaluedChoice -SuggestedValues $US,$JP

This command creates a new resource property with display name Country. The suggested values are set to US and JP. Applications using this resource property would allow their users to specify one of the suggested values as this resource property's value.

Example 3: Create a resource property with shared values

PS C:\> New-ADResourceProperty -DisplayName "Country" -ResourcePropertyValueType MS-DS-MultivaluedChoice -SharesValuesWith Country

This command creates a reference resource property with the display name Country. It uses an existing claim type named Country for its suggested values. This enables the resource property to be always valid for comparisons with the referenced claim type in a central access rule.

Example 4: Create a multivalued text resource property

PS C:\> New-ADResourceProperty -DisplayName "Authors" -ResourcePropertyValueType MS-DS-MultivaluedText -ID "Authors_60DB20331638"

This command creates a resource property with the display name Authors, and sets its ID to Authors_60DB20331638.

The ID should only be set manually in a multi-forest environment where the same resource property must work across forests. By default, New-ADResourceProperty generates the ID automatically. For resource properties to be considered identical across forests, their ID must be the same.

Parameters

-AppliesToResourceTypes

Specifies the resource types to which this resource property is applied.

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-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

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Aliases:	cf
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
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 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

-Description

Specifies a description of the object. This parameter sets the value of the Description property for the object. The LDAP Display Name (ldapDisplayName) for this property is description.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-DisplayName

Specifies the display name of the resource property. The display name of the resource property must be unique.

The display name of a resource property can be used as an identity in other Active Directory cmdlets. For example, if the display name of a resource property is Country, then you can type Get-ADResourceProperty -Identity "Country" to get the resource property.

Type:	String
Position:	0
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Enabled

Indicates whether the resource property is enabled.

Type:	Boolean
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ID

Specifies the resource property ID. This is an optional parameter. By default, New-ADResourceProperty generates the ID automatically.

The ID should only be set manually in a multi-forest environment where the same resource properties need to work across forests. For resource properties to be considered identical across forests, their ID must be the same.

To specify the ID, the ID string must conform to the following format:

• Start with a prefix string of one to 15 characters in length.
• The prefix string must be followed by an underscore.
• The prefix string and underscore must be followed by a suffix string of 1 to 16 characters in length.
• All characters contained in either prefix or suffix strings must contain only valid filename characters.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Instance

Specifies an instance of a resource property object to use as a template for a new resource property object.

You can use an instance of an existing resource property object as a template or you can construct a new resource property object by using the Windows PowerShell command line or by using a script.

Method 1: Use an existing resource property object as a template for a new object. To retrieve an instance of an existing resource property object, use a cmdlet such as Get-ADResourceProperty. Then provide this object to the Instance parameter of the New-ADResourceProperty cmdlet to create a new resource property object. You can override property values of the new object by setting the appropriate parameters.

Method 2: Create a new ADResourceProperty and set the property values by using the Windows PowerShell command line interface. Then pass this object to the Instance parameter of the New-ADResourceProperty cmdlet to create the new resource property object.

Note: Specified attributes are not validated, so attempting to set attributes that do not exist or cannot be set raises an error.

Type:	ADResourceProperty
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-IsSecured

Indicates whether the resource property is secure. Only secure resource properties can be used for authorization decisions or used within central access rules. Unsecured resource properties cannot be used for these purposes.

Type:	Boolean
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-OtherAttributes

Specifies object attribute values for attributes that are not represented by cmdlet parameters. You can set one or more parameters at the same time with this parameter. If an attribute takes more than one value, you can assign multiple values. To identify an attribute, specify the LDAPDisplayName (ldapDisplayName) defined for it in the Active Directory schema.

To specify a single value for an attribute:

-OtherAttributes @{'AttributeLDAPDisplayName'=value}

To specify multiple values for an attribute

-OtherAttributes @{'AttributeLDAPDisplayName'=value1,value2,...}

You can specify values for more than one attribute by using semicolons to separate attributes. The following syntax shows how to set values for multiple attributes:

-OtherAttributes @{'Attribute1LDAPDisplayName'=value; 'Attribute2LDAPDisplayName'=value1,value2;...}

Type:	Hashtable
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion

Specifies whether to prevent the object from being deleted. When this property is set to true, you cannot delete the corresponding object without changing the value of the property. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

• $False or 0
• $True or 1

Type:	Boolean
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ResourcePropertyValueType

Specifies the value type for a resource property. When a resource property is passed to a resource manager (for example, File Server), the resource manager leverages the resource property value type to determine how to handle the resource property.

You can use the Get-ADResourcePropertyValueType cmdlet to get the list of resource property value types.

Below is a list of the built-in resource property value types available in Active Directory:

• MS-DS-SinglevaluedChoice
• MS-DS-YesNo
• MS-DS-Number
• MS-DS-DateTime
• MS-DS-OrderedList
• MS-DS-Text
• MS-DS-MultivaluedText
• MS-DS-MultivaluedChoice

Type:	ADResourcePropertyValueType
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Server

Specifies the AD DS instance to connect to, by providing one of the following values for a corresponding domain name or directory server. The service may be any of the following: AD LDS, AD DS, or Active Directory snapshot instance.

Specify the AD DS 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 AD DS 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

-SharesValuesWith

Specifies a reference resource property. Reference resource properties do not provide their own suggested values, but rather use the suggested values from the claim type object specified in this parameter. This enables the resource property to always remain valid for use in comparisons to its referred claim type within a central access rule.

Type:	ADClaimType
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-SuggestedValues

Specifies one or more suggested values for the resource property. An application may choose to present this list of suggested values for the user to choose from. When RestrictValues is set to $True, the application should restrict the user to pick values from this list only.

Type:	ADSuggestedValueEntry[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Aliases:	wi
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

Inputs

None or Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADResourceProperty

Outputs

None or Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADResourceProperty
