Complex password generator and reset tool

Posted on by

Today I created a small tool which will do the following things:

  • Generate a random complex password
  • Unlock a user account and set the new password

This can be very handy for a service desk which resets a lot of passwords for users. And instead of having to think about a password or start a password generator tool, you can do everything with one tool. I created two version of the tool, one with AD search ability and one without. Both version are in the zip file.

Click here to download the tool. 

System requirement’s
Minimal Windows 7 or 2008R2
Active Directory PowerShell module
PowerShell V3 (for win7 and 2008R2 please install: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34595)
User must be Samaccountname
To set the password you must have enough rights in the AD.
Console shows errors like : User doesn’t exists, not enough rights etc..
