Figure 67. MCPasswordReset report
These are the tasks performed by the MCPasswordReset script, in order:
1 The script v
eries that the following required Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft components are available and running normally.
If these components are not running, the script stops:
• SMA server
• SMA database
2 The script performs a basic health check on components it must access to change passwords. Specically
, the script veries that all
VMs, related services, and SQL Server instances are running.
3 If step 2 is successful, the script resets the passwords described at the start of this section.
If required VMs or services are not running, the script prompts you with the following warning:
Some virtual machines or services are not running. Do you want to continue?
It is recommended that you type
N, and then press Enter to stop the script. It is preferable that you do not continue because more
failures can occur during the password reset process.
If step 2 fails, the script displays a list of required VMs and services and their states, for troubleshooting purposes.

YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-
SS
. Open this folder, and then open the le named
PasswordReset.log to nd a summary of script tasks.
3 The script’s supporting runbook logs are also stored in the date- and time-stamped folder, for easier troubleshooting if individual
