Radius - Powershell applying shared secret issue Windows 2012 R2

[Davit2005]

We are jus moving all our switches to Radius for administration logins.

 

Got it working perfectly from an operation side, however, as we have 600 odd switches so adding these to the Radius server is going to be laborious. No problem I'd use a PowerShell script with a CSV to add the switches.

 

The Powershell script absolutely refuses to apply ether the Shared Secret or the Shared Secret template even though the password is correctly displayed in the output window .

 

I've tried adding the New-NPSRadiusClient with the shared secret hard coded, New-NPSRadiusClient applying the shared secret template and Set-NPSRadiusClient to change the shared secret after adding the client.

 

At this rate I thing I will be adding the clients disabled and then going through applying the template and enabling the clients manually.

 

Anyone got any solutions.

Now got a PowerShell script that adds the switches via a csv file. If I could only get it properly applying the shared secret.

 

One avenue I'm going to try is to set create a template with correct shared secret and then do a Set-NPRRadiusClient to change Name and IP. Last chance I suppose :-( .

In the end I found the following command, I jus now need to get this working importing from a CSV script

 

netsh nps add client name= [RADIUS CLIENT FRIENDLY NAME] address= [RADIUS CLIENT IP ADDRESS] state=Enable sharedsecret=[sHARED SECRET] napcompatible=No
