[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Set-LapsADResetPasswordPermission cmdlet is used by administrators to configure security
permissions on an OU to allow specific users or groups to reset the LAPS password expiration time on
computers in that OU. Users and groups must be fully qualified with both domain and user name
components. The only exception to this is when the specified name resolves to a built-in principal,
such as Domain Admins.
Examples
Example 1
Set-LapsADResetPasswordPermission -Identity LapsTestOU -AllowedPrincipals "Domain Admins"
Name DistinguishedName
---- -----------------
LapsTestOU OU=LapsTestOU,DC=laps,DC=comThis example shows how to run the cmdlet with an isolated name that successfully maps to a well-known user or group.
Example 2
Set-LapsADResetPasswordPermission -Identity LapsTestOU -AllowedPrincipals @("S-1-5-21-2889755270-1324585639-743026605-1215")
Name DistinguishedName
---- -----------------
LapsTestOU OU=LapsTestOU,DC=laps,DC=comThis example shows how to run the cmdlet specifying a user SID as input.
Example 3
Set-LapsADResetPasswordPermission -Identity 'OU=LapsTestOU,DC=laps,DC=com' -AllowedPrincipals @("laps.com\LapsAdmin1", "LapsAdmin2@laps.com")
Name DistinguishedName
---- -----------------
LapsTestOU OU=LapsTestOU,DC=laps,DC=comThis example shows how to run the cmdlet specifying two fully qualified user names in different formats.
Example 4
Set-LapsADResetPasswordPermission -Identity LapsTestOU -AllowedPrincipals @("LapsAdministratorsGroup")
Set-LapsADReadPasswordPermission : The 'LapsAdministratorsGroup' account appears to be an isolated
name but is not a well-known name. Please use a fully qualified name instead, such as
"LapsAdministratorsGroup@contoso.com" or "contoso\LapsAdministratorsGroup"

+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-LapsADReadPasswordPermission], LapsPowershellException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Invalid principal specified,Microsoft.Windows.LAPS.SetLapsADReadPasswordPermissionThis example shows a failure caused by specifying an isolated name that didn't resolve to a well-known or built-in account. The fix for this error would be to add a domain name qualifier to the input name, for example "LapsAdministratorsGroup@laps.com".
