Security Password Quality Control

[lElOUCHE_79]

I'm trying to set the password policy using PowerCLI unfortunately it's not working and not able to identify where's my mistake

$PassPolicy = "retry=3 disabled,disabled,disabled,disabled,15"
$VMHost = Get-Content -Path ".\Esx-liste.txt" -PipelineVariable ESX |
ForEach-Object -Process {

if ($ESXi.ConnectionState -eq 'Connected') {

Get-AdvancedSetting -Entity $ESXi -Name 'Security.PasswordQualityControl' |
Where-Object{$_Value -ne $PassPolicy} |
Set-AdvancedSetting -Value $PassPolicy -Confirm:$false
}

else {

Write-Error "Node $($ESX.Name) is not connected"
}

}

Can you try like this?

$PassPolicy = "retry=3 disabled,disabled,disabled,disabled,15"

Get-VMHost -Name (Get-Content -Path ".\Esx-liste.txt") -PipelineVariable ESX |
ForEach-Object -Process {
    if ($ESX.ConnectionState -eq 'Connected') {
        Get-AdvancedSetting -Entity $ESX -Name 'Security.PasswordQualityControl' |
        Where-Object{$_Value -ne $PassPolicy} |
        Set-AdvancedSetting -Value $PassPolicy -Confirm:$false
    }
    else {
        Write-Error "Node $($ESX.Name) is not connected"
    }
}
