Hey folks,
I'm trying to set a local admin password with a random value in OSD. I found
this function online that is great, but I can't seem to return the value
outside the function. I've tried a bunch of ways with no luck. Can someone
help? The colde below doesn't have the setting of the password, I just want to
see that the password variable is returning and I can use it in the change
command.
Function GET-Temppassword() {
Param(
[int]$length=10,
[string[]]$sourcedata
)
For ($loop=1; $loop -le $length; $loop++) {
$TempPassword+=($sourcedata | GET-RANDOM)
}
return $TempPassword <-- this value does display
}
$ascii=$NULL;For ($a=33;$a -le 126;$a++) {$ascii+=,[char][byte]$a }
$PW = GET-Temppassword -length 19 -sourcedata $ascii
write-host $PW <-- this is empty
