Description

The Set-AzVMAccessExtension cmdlet adds the Virtual Machine Access (VMAccess) Virtual Machine VMAccess Extension to a virtual machine. VMAccess Extension can be used to set a temporary password and this should be immediately changed it after logging into the machine. This is not supported on Windows Domain Controllers.

Set-AzVMAccessExtension -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup11" -Location "Central US" -VMName "VirtualMachine07" -Name "ContosoTest" -TypeHandlerVersion "2.4"

This command adds a VMAccess extension for the virtual machine named VirtualMachine07 in ResourceGroup11. The command specifies the name and type handler version for VMAccess.

-Credential

Specifies the user name and password for the virtual machine as a PSCredential object.
