However, this doesn't really help much in a fully scripted situation where you need to supply user and pass in an unattended fashion, for that you also need the help of <code> ConvertTo-SecureString </code> | However, this doesn't really help much in a fully scripted situation where you need to supply user and pass in an unattended fashion, for that you also need the help of <code> ConvertTo-SecureString </code>, but if you want to be secure you need to use [[Power_Shell#Store Password Securely|Store Password Securely]] | ||

=== Store Password Securely === | |||
Adapted (a little) from http://bsonposh.com/archives/338 by Brandon | |||
This is a two stage process, 1st you have to create a file with your (encrypted) password in (its encrypted by the currently logged in user - so if its going to be used in a scheduled task, make sure the user that will execute the script creates the password file). | |||
<source lang="powershell"> | |||
$Credential = Get-Credential | |||
$credential.Password | ConvertFrom-SecureString | Set-Content "Pass.fil" | |||
</source> | |||
Then you can use this in a script, the <code> $cred </code> is a standard credential object. | |||
<source lang="powershell"> | |||
$pass = Get-Content "Cred.fil" | ConvertTo-SecureString | |||
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential("MPADGLOBAL\simonstrutt",$pass) | |||
</source> | </source> | ||
