New-DSDirectory Cmdlet

Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.DS.AmazonDirectoryServiceClientCmdlet.ClientConfig

A description for the directory.

This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.

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

The network type for your directory. Simple AD supports IPv4 and Dual-stack only.

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 ResetUserPassword 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.

Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'DirectoryId'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.DirectoryService.Model.CreateDirectoryResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.DirectoryService.Model.CreateDirectoryResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.

The NetBIOS name of the directory, such as CORP.

The size of the directory.

The tags to be assigned to the Simple AD directory. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.

The identifiers of the subnets for the directory servers. The two subnets must be in different Availability Zones. Directory Service creates a directory server and a DNS server in each of these subnets. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.

The identifier of the VPC in which to create the directory.

The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.

An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.

The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.

Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.

Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.

The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.

The system name of an AWS region or an AWSRegion instance. This governs the endpoint that will be used when calling service operations. Note that the AWS resources referenced in a call are usually region-specific.

The AWS secret key for the user account. This can be a temporary secret key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.

The session token if the access and secret keys are temporary session-based credentials.
