Remote Powershell SDK - New-AcctADAccount fails when passing credentials
Article ID: CTX461443
Updated On:
Description
Machine account creation fails when using Remote Powershell SDK cmdlet "New-AcctADAccount" while passing service account credentials, as in this example:
New-AcctADAccount -Count 1 -IdentityPoolUid "xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" -ADPassword $pwd -ADUserName "ServiceAcct@contoso.com"
Resolution
Do not pass service account credentials. The New-AcctADAccount will use the logged in user credentials when no credentials are provided.
New-AcctADAccount -Count 1 -IdentityPoolUid "xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
Problem Cause
Not clear, but evidence suggests that in this case that a group policy was interfering.
