Configshare or AD Credentials

In some situation it might be necessary to provide Credentials and other details for connecting to the config share and/or Active Directory Within the PowerShell module of AppVentiX you can provide these details before importing the module by setting some environment variables. Or after importing the module by running a function with parameters.

The following Variables are supported:

#Config Share details
$Env:AppVentiXConfigShare         = "\\domain.local\AppVentiX\Config" # You can manually override the automatic detection
$Env:AppVentiXConfigShareUsername = "DOMAIN\AppVentiXUser"            # Define the username if required to connect to the config share. E.g. "DOMAIN\User" or "user@domain.local"
$Env:AppVentiXConfigSharePassword = "P@ssw0rd"                        # Define the password for the specified username

#Active Directory details
$Env:AppVentiXADDomainServer      = "lab-dc-001.lab.local"            # Define a domain server
$Env:AppVentiXADDomainPort        = 389                               # Port if not the default (389)
$Env:AppVentiXADDomainUsername    = "DOMAIN\AppVentiXUser"            # Define the username if required to connect to a domain controller. E.g. "DOMAIN\User" or "user@domain.local"
$Env:AppVentiXADDomainPassword    = "P@ssw0rd"                        # Define the password for the specified username

Importing the module

# Installing the latest module from the PowerShell Gallery:
Install-Module -Name AppVentiX -Force

# Import the module
Import-Module AppVentiX

Configuration

Before using the module, a connection must be made to the config share. When the AppVentiX Powershell module is installed on the same machine as the AppVentiX Central management Console it will automatically detect the config share when configured correctly. You can also configure the share manually if the detection does not succeed or is being run from a different machine. To configure your AppVentiX environment:

# Set the configuration share path (Not needed if detected automatically)
Set-AppVentiXConfigShare -Path "\\fileserver.domain.com\config$"

If credentials are required to connect to the Configuration Share, you can provide these also after the Module was imported. E.g. if the current user does not have permissions to access the config share

$Credential = Get-Credential -Message "Enter AppVentiX Config Share credentials"
$ConfigShare = "\\fileserver.domain.local\config$"
Set-AppVentiXConfigShare -ConfigShare $ConfigShare -Credential $Credential
