## Detailed Description This cmdlet modifies Active Directory tenant accounts. ::: note To modify settings, specify new values for the necessary parameters. The cmdlet will overwrite the previous parameter values with new values. The parameters that you omit will remain unchanged. ::: ## Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
BackupProtectionPeriod	For the `EnableBackupProtection` parameter. Specifies the number of days to keep the tenant deleted backups on the service provider side. Permitted values: `1-99`.	`Int32`	False	Named	False
CloudTenant	Specifies an Active Directory tenant account that you want to modify. Accepts the `VBRAdCloudTenant` object. To create this object, run the `Get-VBRCloudTenant` cmdlet.	`VBRAdCloudTenant`	True	Named	True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Description	Specifies the description of the simple tenant account.	`String`	False	Named	False
DomainCredentials	Specifies that the cmdlet will use the domain credentials to connect to the domain controller.	`CCredentials`	False	Named	False
DomainPort	Specifies a port number which will be used to connect to the domain.	`Int32`	False	Named	False
DomainUrl	Specifies a URL of the domain controller. The cmdlet will connect to this domain controller to verify that the user, for whom you want to create a tenant account, exists in Active Directory and this user is available.	`String`	False	Named	False
DomainUsername	Specifies a name of a user who has permissions to get a list of the users from the domain controller.	`String`	False	Named	False
DomainUserPassword	Specifies a password of a user who has permissions to get a list of the users from the domain controller.	`String`	False	Named	False
EnableBackupProtection	Prevents the tenant backups from complete removal. With this option, the tenant's deleted backups will be placed to the recycle bin on the service provider's side. The backups will be kept in the bin for the specified protection period. When this period ends, the backups are removed permanently. To specify the protection period, provide the `BackupProtectionPeriod` parameter.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
EnableGatewayFailover	Enables gateway pool failover option. In case the gateway pool is down, Veeam Backup & Replication will route the data through the gateway that is not added to any gateway pool.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
EnableLeaseExpiration	Defines that an Active Directory tenant account must use lease expiration settings. Provide the `LeaseExpirationDate` parameter to set the lease expiration date.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
EnableResources	Defines that the cmdlet will assign cloud repository resources to the tenant account.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
EnableThrottling	Enables the network throttling to set the bandwidth limitations. Provide the `ThrottlingValue` and `ThrottlingUnit` parameters to set the maximum value.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
GatewayPool	Specifies the array of the gateway pools. Veeam Backup & Replication will route the data through the specified gateway pool. Accepts the `VBRCloudGatewayPool[]` object. To create this object, run the `Get-VBRCloudGatewayPool` cmdlet.	`VBRCloudGatewayPool[]`	False	Named	False
GatewaySelectionType	Specifies the type of gateway, you want to assign to the Cloud Director tenant accounts. `StandaloneGateways` — use this option to route the data through the gateway that is not added to the gateway pool. `GatewayPool` — use this option to route the data through the gateway pool.	`VBRCloudGatewaySelectionType`	False	Named	False
HashedPassword	Defines that you submit the hashed password. The hashed passwords are stored in the Veeam backup database. Use this parameter, for example, to restore tenant accounts.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
LeaseExpirationDate	For the `EnableLeaseExpiration` option. Specifies the lease expiration date. Default: `23:59:59.9999999, 31.12.9999`.	`DateTime`	False	Named	False
MaxConcurrentTask	Specifies the maximum number of tasks the tenant can process in parallel. The number of tasks is the number of VM disks processed by one job targeted at the cloud repository or cloud host.	`Int32`	False	Named	False
PassThru	Defines that the command returns the output object to the Windows PowerShell console.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
Resources	Specifies an array of backup resource quotas you want to allocate to the simple tenant account. You must set the `Resources` or the `ReplicationResources` parameter, or a combination of both, to create a tenant. Note: When you assign multiple resource quotas to one tenant account, the resource quotas must have unique Repository Friendly Names and they must use different repositories. Accepts the `VBRCloudTenantResource[]` object. To create this object, run the `New-VBRCloudTenantResource` cmdlet.	`VBRCloudTenantResource[]`	False	Named	False
ThrottlingUnit	For the `EnableThrottling` option. Specifies the measure units for the bandwidth value. You can select either of the following: `MbitPerSec` `MbytePerSec` `KbytePerSec` Default: `MbytePerSec`.	`VBRSpeedUnit`	False	Named	False
ThrottlingValue	For the `EnableThrottling` option. Specifies the maximum bandwidth value in Mbps for transferring the tenant data to the SP side.	`Decimal`	False	Named	False
UseServiceAccount	Defines that the cmdlet will use the account under which the Veeam Backup Service runs to connect to the domain controller.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False

`` This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see [ Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_commonparameters?view=powershell-7). ## Output Object The cmdlet returns the `VBRaDCloudTenant` object that defines settings of Active Directory tenant accounts. ## Examples ::: example ### Modifying Active Directory Tenant Account This example shows how to modify the `jane.doe` Active Directory tenant account. The cmdlet will enable the backup protection option to keep the tenant deleted backups on the service provider side for 10 days. ``` $tenant = Get-VBRCloudTenant -Name "jane.doe" Set-VBRAdCloudTenant -CloudTenant $tenant -EnableBackupProtection -BackupProtectionPeriod "10" ``` Perform the following steps: 1. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudTenant`](get-vbrcloudtenant.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$tenant` variable. 2. Run the `Set-VBRAdCloudTenant` cmdlet. Specify the following settings: - Set the `$tenant` variable as the `CloudTenant` parameter value. - Provide the `EnableBackupProtection` parameter. - Specify the `BackupProtectionPeriod` parameter value. ::: ## Related Commands [`Get-VBRCloudTenant`](get-vbrcloudtenant.md)
