Windows 10: How to use Powershell command Set-ADAccountPassword as a prompt

This is where I am currently at:

$firstname = Read-Host -Prompt "Please Enter the First name" $lastname = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter the last name

New-ADUser -Name "$firstname $lastname" -GivenName "$firstname" -Surname "$lastname" -UserPrincipalName "$firstname.$lastname" -AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString "1234" -AsPlainTest -Force) -Path "OU-Domain Users,OU=instructorpaul,DC=instructorpaul,DC=com" -ChangePasswordAtLogon 1 -Enabled 1

So I believe I need to get rid of the -AccountPassword line or at least alter it so that I can get it to be a prompt like first and last name. Also a prompt to set email and manager

PowerShell instead of Commandline in Creators Update

Interestingly enough my personal laptop just got the update...and still has Command Prompt listed, not PowerShell...

Edit: Not that it matters...I use both regularly. *Toast :toast:

 

command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?
