Im writing this command line to create a new local user account, but isn't working.






New-LocalUser -Name Blc -Password Blc004 -AccountNeverExpires -FullName Blc -PasswordNeverExpires -UserMayNotChangePassword





After this command line , i can see this message:





New-LocalUser : Cannot bind parameter 'Password'. Cannot convert the "Blc004" value of type "System.String" to type
"System.Security.SecureString".
At line:1 char:35

+ ~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [New-LocalUser], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgumentNoMessage,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewLocalUserCommand

Can't use plain text for the password parameter. Just convert it first to secure string, then run the cmdlet:

$i = ConvertTo-SecureString "Blc004" -AsPlainText -Force
New-LocalUser -Name blc -Password $i -AccountNeverExpires -FullName Blc -PasswordNeverExpires
