Extensible Design
As the Password Reset feature is designed around the use of PowerShell scripts, it provides a flexible architecture where customers can modify the default scripts provided for their own environment, or create their own to meeting the requirements of their own infrastructure.
Connecting to Windows Servers to perform password resets, simply uses the power of PowerShell Remoting - which a lot of customers already use to manage their environment. Connecting to Linux/Unix/Routers/Switches can be achieved via SSH logins directly from the PowerShell Reset script, an connecting to database servers uses standard connectivity methods available in PowerShell and .NET.

- MySQL Accounts
- Oracle Accounts
- HP iLO out of band management cards
