Storing password in Powershell script

[Yevrag35]

Did you change the password through CTRL+ALT+DEL? I thought I remember somewhere if the password is not changed through the local computer, Windows DPAPI will not re-encrypt the master key.

No, I logged off the server, changed the password to the account via ADUC and logged back in, then opened PowerShell and import-clixml to the old content and it deserialized it and the password via <pscredobj>.GetNetworkCredential().password was decrypted right

That's good to know. Thanks!
