Microsoft RemoteAccess reference: Sets the enabled state for inbox and RADIUS accounting for both external RADIUS and Windows accounting and configures the settings when enabled. The syntax and selected example below are adapted from the pinned Windows Server 2025 reference. Module availability, target configuration and delegated permissions determine whether it can run in your environment. Documentation and parameter text: Microsoft, CC BY 4.0; formatting adapted by Cmdlet World. No execution testing is claimed.
Use an account with the target resource permissions documented for Set-RemoteAccessAccounting. Modifying administrative cmdlets may require elevation or delegated administration. This catalog does not assert that ordinary users can execute the command.

Parameters
-AccountingOnOffMsg
Specifies the enabled state for the sending of accounting on and off messages. The acceptable values for this parameter are: -- Enabled. -- Disabled. The default value is Disabled.
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
-ComputerName
Specifies the IPv4 or IPv6 address, or host name, of the computer on which the RA server computer specific tasks should be run.
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
-DisableAccountingType (required)
Indicates the accounting type that has to be disabled. The acceptable values for this parameter are: -- Inbox. -- ExternalRadius.
-EnableAccountingType (required)
Indicates the accounting type that needs to be enabled. The acceptable values for this parameter are: -- Inbox: The store size is set to 12 months automatically. The Set-RemoteAccessInboxAccountingStore cmdlet is used to change the store size on individual RA servers. -- ExternalRadius: Can also be used to enable Windows Accounting or Accounting on the NPS installed locally on the same computer.
-PassThru
Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
-RadiusPort
Specifies the port number on which the RADIUS server is accepting authentication requests. The default value is 1813. This parameter can be configured only if the EnableAccountingType parameter is specified to be ExternalRadius.
-RadiusScore
Specifies the initial score. The default value is 30. This parameter can be configured only if the EnableAccountingType parameter is specified to be ExternalRadius.
-RadiusServer
Specifies the IPv4 or IPv6 address, or host name, of the external RADIUS server that is used for accounting. This parameter can be configured only if the EnableAccountingType parameter is specified to be ExternalRadius.
-RadiusTimeout
Specifies the time in seconds that the RA server waits for a response from the RADIUS server before the RA server tries to connect to the next RADIUS server. The default value is 5. Specify this parameter only if you specify ExternalRadius for the EnableAccountingType parameter.
-SharedSecret
Specifies the shared secret between the RA server and the specified external RADIUS server which is required for successful communication between the two servers. Note: The secret is specified in clear text. This parameter can be configured only if the EnableAccountingType parameter is specified to be ExternalRadius.
-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
-WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Prerequisites
Windows with the RemoteAccess module and the Windows feature or management tools that provide it. Confirm target connectivity and version compatibility using the linked Microsoft reference.
Security considerations
This cmdlet changes system state. Review every target and parameter in the official reference, test outside production, and prepare an appropriate backup or rollback. Do not execute the example automatically.
This example enables inbox accounting for this deployment. The RA server on which this cmdlet is run is specified using the ComputerName parameter. Source: Microsoft, CC BY 4.0; transcript prompt/output removed. This example was not executed.
