Reset the domain account password for an Active Directory account

Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.

This may be required if the password stored along with the machine account in the Windows Active Directory domain is changed or reset without the Vserver's knowledge. The operation requires the credentials for a user with permission to reset the password in the organizational unit (OU) that contains the machine account.

Parameters

This parameter specifies the name of the Vserver associated with the Active Directory account whose domain account password you want to reset.
