In my home lab, I want to deactivate the password expiration of the NSX-T local management user accounts on both, NSX-T Manager and Edges. There are three local users: root, admin, and audit. The default password expiration is set to 90 days.

vRealize Automation provides pre-defined application and services life cycles operations which require customizing this life cycle via extensibility. This lifecycle extensibility is applied through the Event Broker Service (EBS).

But to use additional modules in these polyglot scripts, we had to include dependencies by adding them as a ZIP package, which was a quite tedious work.
With vRealize Orchestrator 8.8 or higher, we can now add modules and libraries for use in our vRealize Orchestrator scripts as dependencies directly from the vRealize Orchestrator Client.
In this example, we’ll investigate how to create a script environment with an additional module for PowerShell.
