Options

--name (string)

The fully qualified domain name for the Managed Microsoft AD directory, such as corp.example.com . This name will resolve inside your VPC only. It does not need to be publicly resolvable.

--short-name (string)

The NetBIOS name for your domain, such as CORP . If you don’t specify a NetBIOS name, it will default to the first part of your directory DNS. For example, CORP for the directory DNS corp.example.com .

--password (string)

The password for the default administrative user named Admin .

If you need to change the password for the administrator account, you can use the ResetUserPassword API call.

--description (string)

A description for the directory. This label will appear on the Amazon Web Services console Directory Details page after the directory is created.

--vpc-settings (structure)

Contains VPC information for the CreateDirectory or CreateMicrosoftAD operation.

VpcId -> (string)

The identifier of the VPC in which to create the directory.

SubnetIds -> (list)

The identifiers of the subnets for the directory servers. The two subnets must be in different Availability Zones. Directory Service creates a directory server and a DNS server in each of these subnets.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

VpcId=string,SubnetIds=string,string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "VpcId": "string",
  "SubnetIds": ["string", ...]
}

--edition (string)

Managed Microsoft AD is available in two editions: Standard and Enterprise . Enterprise is the default.

Possible values:

• Enterprise

• Standard

--tags (list)

The tags to be assigned to the Managed Microsoft AD directory.

(structure)

Metadata assigned to a directory consisting of a key-value pair.

Key -> (string)

Required name of the tag. The string value can be Unicode characters and cannot be prefixed with “aws:”. The string can contain only the set of Unicode letters, digits, white-space, ‘_’, ‘.’, ‘/’, ‘=’, ‘+’, ‘-‘ (Java regex: “^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+-]*)$”).

Value -> (string)

The optional value of the tag. The string value can be Unicode characters. The string can contain only the set of Unicode letters, digits, white-space, ‘_’, ‘.’, ‘/’, ‘=’, ‘+’, ‘-‘ (Java regex: “^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+-]*)$”).

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Output

DirectoryId -> (string)

The identifier of the directory that was created.
