Remarks
When a string contains sensitive information such as a password, there is a risk that the information might be revealed after it is used because your application cannot delete the data from computer memory. You can provide the farmPassword parameter as a SecureString object to help protect it from accidental or malicious exposure.
The username and password that you provide must be associated with a domain account.
