NAME
|
|
gcloud compute reset-windows-password - reset and return a password for a
|
|
Windows machine instance
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
gcloud compute reset-windows-password INSTANCE_NAME [--user=USER]
|
|
[--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
gcloud compute reset-windows-password allows a user to reset and retrieve a
|
|
password for a Windows virtual machine instance. If the Windows account
|
|
does not exist, this command will cause the account to be created and the
|
|
password for that new account will be returned.
|
|
|
|
For Windows instances that are running a domain controller, running this
|
|
command creates a new domain user if the user does not exist, or resets the
|
|
password if the user does exist. It is not possible to use this command to
|
|
create a local user on a domain-controller instance.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: When resetting passwords or adding a new user to a Domain Controller
|
|
in this way, the user will be added to the built in Admin Group on the
|
|
Domain Controller. This will give the user wide reaching permissions. If
|
|
this is not the desired outcome then Active Directory Users and Computers
|
|
should be used instead.
|
|
|
|
For all other instances, including domain-joined instances, running this
|
|
command creates a local user or resets the password for a local user.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: Resetting a password for an existing user can cause the loss of
|
|
data encrypted with the current Windows password, such as encrypted files
|
|
or stored passwords.
|
|
|
|
The user running this command must have write permission for the Google
|
|
Compute Engine project containing the Windows instance.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES
|
|
To reset the password for user 'foo' on a Windows instance 'my-instance' in
|
|
zone 'us-central1-f', run:
|
|
|
|
$ gcloud compute reset-windows-password my-instance \
|
|
--zone=us-central1-f --user=foo
|
|
|
|
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
|
|
INSTANCE_NAME
|
|
Name of the instance to operate on. For details on valid instance
|
|
names, refer to the criteria documented under the field 'name' at:
|
|
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances
|
|
|
|
FLAGS
|
|
--user=USER
|
|
USER specifies the username to get the password for. If omitted, the
|
|
username is derived from your authenticated account email address.
|
|
|
|
--zone=ZONE
|
|
Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you might be
|
|
prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only). gcloud attempts to
|
|
identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your
|
|
currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined, gcloud
|
|
prompts you for a selection with all available Google Cloud Platform
|
|
zones.
|
|
|
|
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set the
|
|
compute/zone property:
|
|
|
|
$ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
|
|
|
|
A list of zones can be fetched by running:
|
|
|
|
$ gcloud compute zones list
|
|
|
|
To unset the property, run:
|
|
|
|
$ gcloud config unset compute/zone
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
|
|
CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.
|
|
|
|
