[<CommonParameters>]
The Remove-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy cmdlet removes an Active Directory fine-grained password policy.
The Identity parameter specifies the Active Directory fine-grained password policy to remove.
You can identify a fine-grained password policy by its distinguished name or GUID.
You can also set the Identity parameter to a fine-grained password object variable, such as $<localFineGrainedPasswordPolicyObject>
, or you can pass a fine-grained password policy object through the pipeline to the Identity parameter.
For example, you can use the Get-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy cmdlet to retrieve a fine-grained password policy object and then pass the object through the pipeline operator to the Remove-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy cmdlet.
PS C:\> Remove-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy -Identity MyPolicy
This command removes the fine-grained password policy object named MyPolicy.
PS C:\> Remove-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy -Identity 'CN=MyPolicy,CN=Password Settings Container,CN=System,DC=USER01,DC=COM'
This command removes the fine-grained password policy object with DistinguishedName CN=MyPolicy,CN=Password Settings Container,CN=System,DC=USER01,DC=COM.
PS C:\> Get-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy -Filter "Name -like '*user*'" | Remove-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy
This command removes all fine-grained password policy objects that contain user in their names.
Specifies the authentication method to use. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- Negotiate or 0
- Basic or 1
The default authentication method is Negotiate.
A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection is required for the Basic authentication method.

Specifies the user account credentials to use to perform this task. The default credentials are the credentials of the currently logged on user unless the cmdlet is run from an Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell provider drive. If the cmdlet is run from such a provider drive, the account associated with the drive is the default.
To specify this parameter, you can type a user name, such as User1 or Domain01\User01 or you can specify a PSCredential object. If you specify a user name for this parameter, the cmdlet prompts for a password.
You can also create a PSCredential object by using a script or by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. You can then set the Credential parameter to the PSCredential object.
If the acting credentials do not have directory-level permission to perform the task, Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell returns a terminating error.
Type: | PSCredential |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Specifies an Active Directory fine-grained password policy object by providing one of the following property values. The identifier in parentheses is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) display name for the attribute. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- A distinguished name (distinguishedName)
- A GUID (objectGUID)
- A Name (name)
The cmdlet searches the default naming context or partition to find the object. If two or more objects are found, the cmdlet returns a non-terminating error.
This parameter can also get this object through the pipeline operator or you can set this parameter to a fine-grained password policy object instance.
Type: | ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy |
Position: | 0 |
Default value: | None |
Required: | True |
Accept pipeline input: | True |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Specifies the Active Directory Domain Services instance to connect to, by providing one of the following values for a corresponding domain name or directory server. The service may be any of the following: Active Directory Lightweight Domain Services, Active Directory Domain Services or Active Directory snapshot instance.
Specify the Active Directory Domain Services instance in one of the following ways:
Domain name values:
- Fully qualified domain name
- NetBIOS name
Directory server values:
- Fully qualified directory server name
- NetBIOS name
- Fully qualified directory server name and port
The default value for this parameter is determined by one of the following methods in the order that they are listed:
- By using the Server value from objects passed through the pipeline
- By using the server information associated with the Active Directory Domain Services Windows PowerShell provider drive, when the cmdlet runs in that drive
- By using the domain of the computer running Windows PowerShell
Type: | String |
