When we use PowerShell to create a mailbox, there are two ways to fill in the password

Method 1, enter the password manually

$password = read-host "Enter password"-assecurestring
New-mailbox-userprincipalname [email protected] -alias chris-database "Mailbox Database 1"-name Chrisashton-o Rganizationalunit users-password $password-firstname chris-lastname ashton-displayname "Chris Ashton"-resetpasswordo Nnextlogon $true

Method 2, use plaintext password in encrypted use

New-mailbox-userprincipalname [email protected] -alias chris-database "Mailbox Database 1"-name Chrisasht On-organizationalunit Users-password (convertto-securestring-string [email protected]-asplaintext-force) - FirstName chris-lastname ashton-displayname "Chris Ashton"-resetpasswordonnextlogon $true

Method 1 is not very convenient to use, each new account to enter a password, Method 2 is easy to use to cause the password to be seen by others, security is not guaranteed, we how to ensure that the password is created without each input, but also ensure that security is guaranteed. The method is to use ciphertext password.

Step 1, encrypt the password and keep it to c:\xxx.txt.

$mysecret = "Passw0rd"
$mysecret | Convertto-securestring-asplaintext-force | Convertfrom-securestring| Out-file c:\xxx.txt-Encoding UTF8

Step 2, convert the ciphertext password into a format that PowerShell can use

$securestring = (get-content C:\xxx.txt). ToString () | Convertto-securestring
$ptr = [System.runtime.interopservices.marshal]::securestringtoglobalallocunicode ($secureString)
$serverpass = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::P trtostringuni ($PTR)
$Password = convertto-securestring $serverpass-asplaintext–force

Step 3, create the mailbox when the $password variable is called.

New-mailbox-userprincipalname [email protected] -alias chris-database "Mailbox Database 1"-name chrisashton-organizationalunit users-password $password-firstnam E chris-lastname ashton-displayname "Chris Ashton"-resetpasswordonnextlogon $true

When we connected to PowerShell, we found a place that was especially annoying, and each time we had to enter a username and password, for example.

In fact, we can convert this password into ciphertext password to save it for PowerShell to call directly, the command is as follows:

$securestring = (get-content C:\xxx.txt). ToString () | convertto-securestring
$ptr = [System.runtime.interopservices.marshal]::securestringtoglobalallocunicode ($ secureString)
$serverpass = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::P trtostringuni ($ptr)
$UserName = " Span style= "font-family: ' Microsoft Jacob Black '; font-size:14px;" >[email  Protected]       #定义管理员账户名称
$Password = convertto-securestring $serverpass- Asplaintext–force
$cred = New-object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($UserName, $Password)
$ Session=new-pssession-configurationname Microsoft.exchange-connectionuri Https://mail.rightdo.net/powershell- Authentication basic-credential $cred
import-pssession $sessionImport-pssession $session

After entering PowerShell, the connection is normal.

There is encryption at the same time there is a decryption method, the ciphertext converted back to clear text (can only be decrypted on the computer used for encryption)

$secureString = Get-content-path C:\xxx.txt | Convertto-securestring
$ptr = [System.runtime.interopservices.marshal]::securestringtoglobalallocunicode ($secureString)
$mysecret = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::P trtostringuni ($PTR)
$mysecret
