I have an account that I am using as the "run as" account to run PowerShell scripts for several different custom commands. I would like to be able to update the saved password for this account in each custom command through a script that I can run when it's time to change the account password. I think this is possible when creating a new custom command using the RunAs() function for IAdmRunScriptAction, but I haven't found a way to use this to update an existing custom command.

Is it possible to write a script that updates the credentials used to run a script in an existing custom command?

Hello,

Yes, it is possible. For us to write the script please, specify the following:

  • Does it meet your needs if the script to update the passwords will be executed in a custom command and the new password itself will be entered using a parameter?
  • Should the script just update the password in the Run as section for all the Run a program or PowerShell script actions in all the specified custom commands? If not, please, describe the desired behavior in all the possible details with live examples.

We will be running the script from another application which will automatically rotate the password for the AD account, so I would like for the script to be standalone if possible. If not possible, running it within a custom command is fine since we can use the REST API to call the custom command from the other application.

Yes, ideally we would define a list of custom commands (which could be hard coded into the script rather than a parameter) and then the script would update the password for all the Run a program or PowerShell script actions within each command.
