### -Partition
The default authentication method is Negotiate.
Specifies the distinguished name of an Active Directory partition.
The distinguished name must be one of the naming contexts on the current directory server.
The cmdlet searches this partition to find the object defined by the **Identity** parameter.

A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection is required for the Basic authentication method.
In many cases, a default value is used for the **Partition** parameter if no value is specified.
The rules for determining the default value are given below.
Note that rules listed first are evaluated first and once a default value can be determined, no further rules are evaluated.

In Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) environments, a default value for **Partition** is set in the following cases:

- If the **Identity** parameter is set to a distinguished name, the default value of **Partition** is automatically generated from this distinguished name.
- If running cmdlets from an Active Directory provider drive, the default value of **Partition** is automatically generated from the current path in the drive.
- If none of the previous cases apply, the default value of **Partition** is set to the default partition or naming context of the target domain.

In Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) environments, a default value for **Partition** is set in the following cases:

- If the **Identity** parameter is set to a distinguished name, the default value of **Partition** is automatically generated from this distinguished name.
- If running cmdlets from an Active Directory provider drive, the default value of **Partition** is automatically generated from the current path in the drive.
- If the target AD LDS instance has a default naming context, the default value of **Partition** is set to the default naming context.
To specify a default naming context for an AD LDS environment, set the **msDS-defaultNamingContext** property of the Active Directory directory service agent object (**nTDSDSA**) for the AD LDS instance.
- If none of the previous cases apply, the **Partition** parameter does not take any default value.

### -ResourceContextPartition
