Reset user password in Active Directory

[AnirudhKumar]

Hello folks,

We want to reset user passwords in Active Directory.

And we have got the Microsoft AD Spoke.

I just want to confirm if the below resource is the one we need to be following:

Yes, that's the correct documentation

@Mike_R  thanks, that's a relief!

Just curious why powershell is needed if we are using spokes. I mean, I thought spokes were introduced so we DO NOT have to get into powershell.

I also thought just installing a MID server on the windows host with the Service Account configured with 'logon as a service' will get it to work. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

The spokes are just prebuilt integrations. Behind the scenes, that Microsoft AD spoke is still running PowerShell so that's why you need to install the Active Directory PowerShell module on the MIDs for the actions to work correctly.

If you have Azure AD, you can look into this spoke, which I believe uses REST API instead of PowerShell
