    Hello,

    I have a simple function that resets an AD password. I have to change the username argument in ISE every time I run it.

    How can I run it from the command prompt and pass in the username each time, rather than editing the script each time?

    Thanks!

    function resetpw ($username) {

        $PW = read-host -AsSecureString -Prompt "Enter new password: "
        Get-ADUser $username
        Set-ADAccountPassword -reset -Confirm:$false -Identity $username -NewPassword $PW
    }

    resetpw user.name

    Remove the function and make it a script with a param block.

    Can you give me an example or link to one please? The param block is the piece I'm unfamiliar with.
