<p><b>New page</b></p><div>This above script uses two files (<code>$UserFile</code> and <code>$PassFile</code>) to provide authentication credentials to the script without needing the password to exist in unencrypted plain text. To create your own see the script at the bottom of the [[Credentials_(PowerShell)#Store_Password_Securely|Store Password Securely]] section.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, remove/comment out the lines that reference the <code>$UserFile</code> and <code>$PassFile</code> variables and use the following line to create the <code>$cred</code> variable instead...<br />
<source lang="powershell"><br />
$cred = Get-Credential<br />
