ovpmpwutil

Use the command-line program ovpmpwutil to change the user name or password for measurement threshold policies, scheduled task policies, and Windows Management Interface policies on the management server where the program runs.

Command synopsis

ovpmpwutil [/? | /all | /measure | /schedtask | /wmi] /u
<UserName> [/n <NewUserName>] /p
<Password>

Options

Optional. Specify one of the following flags:
- ?: Usage information.
- all: Change all measurement threshold policies, scheduled task policies, and Windows Management Interface policies.
- measure: Change measurement threshold policies only.
- schedtask: Change scheduled task policies only. (This is the default.)
- wmi: Change Windows Management Interface policies only.
UserName: The current user name in the policies. Only those policies that contain this user name are changed by the command. This parameter is required.
NewUserName: The new user name for the policies. This parameter is optional.
Password: The new password for the policies. This parameter is required.

Examples

ovpmpwutil /u User1 /p Pass1
Changes the password to Pass1 for all scheduled task policies with the user name User1.
ovpmpwutil /all /u User1 /p ""
Removes the password for all measurement threshold, scheduled task, and WMI policies with the user name User1.
ovpmpwutil /measure /u User1 /n Administrator /p "a4f 99c"
Changes the password to a4f 00c and the user name to Administrator for all measurement threshold policies with user name User1. Note that the password contains a space and is therefore enclosed in quotation marks.

NOTE:
A new policy version is produced for each policy that is changed by this command. This means that the action redeploy all will not deploy the new polices, because redeploy all redeploys the policy versions that exist on the managed node. The updated policies will also only be available in policy group where they were added if you configured the group to automatically update to the latest version of the policies it contains.
