PPE cmdlets

The PPE Cmdlets are available to manage Password Policy Enforcer from a Windows PowerShell. The cmdlets are not case-sensitive.

Starting with version 11.1, the PowerShell cmdlets are built on .NET 8.0 and require PowerShell version 7.5 or newer to function. Installation link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-on-windows?view=powershell-7.5

To establish the connection:

Step 1 – Open a Windows PowerShell. Some cmdlets require administrative permissions. You can use the Run as Administrator option.

Step 2 – Import the PPE cmdlets module: Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Netwrix\Password Policy Enforcer\PS\PPEConf.PowerShell.dll"

Step 3 – Connect to your domain: Connect-PPE -d "domain" where domain is the full name of your domain controller. NT-DC03.NWXTECH.COM in this example.

Get-PPEHelp with no parameters, displays a list of available cmdlets. Use the PowerShell get-help Cmdlet for information about the cmdlet.
