• You must be a member of the
<
Prex
>-Setup-Admins group in the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft OU to run the
MCPasswordReset script. You are prompted to provide those credentials when you run the script.
• The password reset script works only for the accounts listed in the preceding section. It does not reset passwords for any manually-
cr
eated accounts, or for Windows Azure Pack encryption keys.
• Run only the
MCPasswordReset script. Do not run the Reset-*Password runbooks that support the script. The supporting runbooks
are invoked automatically by the MCPasswordReset script, and are not to be run individually.
• Interrupting the MCPasswordReset script requires manual recovery. Avoid interrupting the password reset process.
How to run the MCPasswordReset script
Do the following:
1 Log on to the Console VM.
2 Open an elevated Windows PowerShell session.
3 Change directories to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Cloud Solutions\PasswordReset.
For example: PS C:\Users> cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Cloud Solutions\PasswordReset.
4 Type the following command to start the script, and then press Enter:
.\MCPasswordReset.ps1
For example, PS C:\Program Files\Microsoft Cloud Solutions\PasswordReset> .\MCPasswordReset.ps1.
5 You are prompted to provide <
Prex
>-Setup-Admins credentials. Specify the user name and password. You do not have to provide
the domain. For example, specify a user name of Admin1, as shown in the following screenshot. Do not specify Domain\Admin1.

6 The script displays progress while it runs. Do not close the Windows PowerShell session or try to interrupt the script while it is running.
If y
ou interrupt the script, this can put the components in an inconsistent state. The script typically requires 12 to 15 minutes to nish.
The following screenshot is an example of the report that is displayed when the script nishes
. If the Status of any of the runbooks is
Failed or Failed to complete, see
