I know this is probably a silly question but can someone clarify what "in the Powershell script change ADRestoreModePassword" means please??
Am I actually going to be running Ntdsutil as shown in these steps https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/322672/how-to-reset-the-directory-services-restore-mode-administrator-account
Sorry for asking, very late and run out of coffee here ;)
Justin,
You do not run ntdsutil in this situation. In the script you see ...ConvertTo-SecureString 'ADRestoreModePassword_ChangeThis'... This means that you need to change the text between the quotation marks to your own complex password.
Yes, you need more coffee. Also look at the screenshot to see what I actuallu do!
I thought the same thing. So I actually did run that command before running that step. I made sure to match the password afterwards. Does that cause issues?
I just sent a question about that

Perfect, thanks, Mariëtte!
I just need to look below the picture and could see the script you're referring to and inserted my password.
All ran well and has completed so I've restarted the server Thank you
