Yes, it looks like you can use the method standalone without other Membership functionality, so yes, great tip! Learning something new every day. Wow!

If you already have the assembly loaded, you can skip the first line:
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(“System.Web”)

Then it really is a one-liner

[System.Web.Security.Membership]::GeneratePassword(10,2)

Thanks for the link. I agree that technically my oneliner might in some cases fail to generate a complex password but I wanted it so much to be a oneliner! ;) Anyway, I'm glad you posted a link to your script so folks can find an alternative while reading this post.

It's filed under the less than obvious post: http://www.leadfollowmove.com/archives/powershell/powershell-less-code-same-result I was comparing the same function between VBS and PoSH, and used a password gen function as my sample. Cheers Adam :) HI Dimitry,
