Management Console for Unix provides Unix command line utilities and Windows Powershell cmdlets that enable you to script common local Unix user and group management tasks. For example, you can write a script to reset a local Unix user's password across multiple Unix systems.
PowerShell modules provide a "scriptable" interface to many mangement console tasks. Using Management Console for Unix PowerShell commands, you can manage group membership, change user passwords, or connect to the Management Console for Unix Web service.
