# New-DSAccountLifecyclePolicyInfo

### Synopsis

Create a new account lifecycle policy.

### Syntax

#### Type (Default)

```
New-DSAccountLifecyclePolicyInfo [-Source <AccountLifecyclePolicyProviderMode>]
 [-PolicyType <AccountLifecyclePolicyType>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

#### GetByID

```
New-DSAccountLifecyclePolicyInfo -PolicyID <guid> [<CommonParameters>]
```

### Description

Create a new account lifecycle policy in a PowerShell-friendly format that can be used when initializing or updating PAM providers. To modify specific settings on the policy, it is necessary to modify properties on the returned object.

Password template: First set `$policy.Policy.PasswordTemplate.Mode = 'Custom'`. Assign a password template ID to `$policy.Policy.PasswordTemplate.TemplateID` (obtained from `Get-DSPasswordPolicy`).

Password reset: Configure automatic password rotation by setting `$policy.Policy.PasswordReset.ScheduleMode = 'Custom'`. Specify the frequency with `$policy.Policy.PasswordReset.ScheduleFrequency`. Set the unit with `$policy.Policy.PasswordReset.ScheduleFrequencyUnit` (Day, Hour, etc.). Optionally set the time with `$policy.Policy.PasswordReset.ScheduleAtDateTime`.

Password propagation scripts: Configure password propagation by setting `$policy.Policy.Propagation.Mode = 'Custom'`. Assign script IDs to `$policy.Policy.Propagation.ScriptConfigurationIds` (obtained from `Get-DSScriptConfigurationSummary`).

### Examples

#### Example 1

```powershell
PS C:\> $template = Get-DSPasswordPolicy -Name "Strong password"
PS C:\> $script = Get-DSScriptConfigurationSummary -Name "My password propagation script"
PS C:\> $policy = New-DSAccountLifecyclePolicyInfo -Source Custom -PolicyType Custom
PS C:\> $gateway = Get-DSGateway -Name 'MyGateway'
PS C:\> $policy.Policy.PasswordTemplate.Mode = 'Custom'
PS C:\> $policy.Policy.PasswordTemplate.TemplateID = $template.ID
PS C:\> $policy.Policy.CheckInAction.Mode = 'Custom'
PS C:\> $policy.Policy.CheckInAction.Actions = @('ResetPassword')
PS C:\> $policy.Policy.PasswordReset.ScheduleMode = 'Custom'
PS C:\> $policy.Policy.PasswordReset.ScheduleFrequency = 30
PS C:\> $policy.Policy.PasswordReset.ScheduleFrequencyUnit = 'Day'
PS C:\> $policy.Policy.PasswordReset.ScheduleAtDateTime = Get-Date -Hour 14 -Minute 0 -Second 0
PS C:\> $policy.Policy.Propagation.Mode = 'Custom'
PS C:\> $policy.Policy.Propagation.ScriptConfigurationIds = @($script.ID)
PS C:\> New-DSPamProvider -Name "MyProvider" -CredentialType DomainUser -DomainName "mydomain.loc" -Username "admin" -Password "P@ssw0rd" -AccountLifecyclePolicy $policy -Gateway $gateway
```

Create a PAM provider with a custom account lifecycle policy and initialize multiple properties to custom values. Note: 'ResetPassword' in CheckInAction.Actions corresponds to the 'Password rotation' option in the UI.

#### Example 2

```powershell
PS C:\> $customPolicy = Get-DSAccountLifecyclePolicy -Name "My Custom Policy"
PS C:\> $policy = New-DSAccountLifecyclePolicyInfo -PolicyID $customPolicy.ID
PS C:\> New-DSPamProvider -Name "MyProvider" -CredentialType DomainUser -DomainName "mydomain.loc" -Username "admin" -Password "P@ssw0rd" -AccountLifecyclePolicy $policy
```

Create a PAM provider using an existing account lifecycle policy. `Source` is automatically set to `Custom`.

### Parameters

#### -PolicyID

The ID of an existing account lifecycle policy. The new policy will use this policy's settings. The `Source` of the returned policy is automatically set to `Custom`.

```yaml
Type: System.Guid

ParameterSets:
- Name: GetByID
  Position: Named
  IsRequired: true
  ValueFromPipeline: false
  ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName: false
  ValueFromRemainingArguments: false
DontShow: false
AcceptedValues: []
HelpMessage: ''
```

#### -PolicyType

The policy type (Default or Custom). This will set the returned object's PolicyID field to an equivalent value.

```yaml
Type: RemoteDesktopManager.PowerShellModule.Private.enums.AccountLifecyclePolicyType
DefaultValue: ''

Aliases: []
ParameterSets:
- Name: Type
  Position: Named
