Hey Dave,
Thank you for this.
Just thinking, the $user variable in the last line should prolly be $username no?

Can you please update the documentation to be correct?

$username = "bad.admin@acme.com.au"
$password = "Password123!@#"
$secureStringPwd = $password | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$creds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $username, $secureStringPwd
