Usage

directoryservice_create_directory(
  Name,
  ShortName = NULL,
  Password,

)

Arguments

Name

[required] The fully qualified name for the directory, such as corp.example.com.

ShortName

The NetBIOS name of the directory, such as CORP.

Password

[required] The password for the directory administrator. The directory creation process creates a directory administrator account with the user name Administrator and this password.

If you need to change the password for the administrator account, you can use the reset_user_password API call.

The regex pattern for this string is made up of the following conditions:

  • Length (?=^.{8,64}$) – Must be between 8 and 64 characters

AND any 3 of the following password complexity rules required by Active Directory:

  • Numbers and upper case and lowercase (?=.\d)(?=.[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])

  • Numbers and special characters and lower case (?=.\d)(?=.[^A-Za-z0-9\s])(?=.*[a-z])

  • Special characters and upper case and lower case (?=.[^A-Za-z0-9\s])(?=.[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])

  • Numbers and upper case and special characters (?=.\d)(?=.[A-Z])(?=.*[^A-Za-z0-9\s])

For additional information about how Active Directory passwords are enforced, see Password must meet complexity requirements on the Microsoft website.

Description

A description for the directory.

Size

[required] The size of the directory.

VpcSettings

A DirectoryVpcSettings object that contains additional information for the operation.
