Uncheck "password never expires"

[Mary]

Is there a script that will 'uncheck' the password never expires box for a
group of accounts? I have the ADModify tool, but it didn't uncheck the box
once it was checked. (I ran it once to make sure the box was checked on a
group of accounts, then ran it again with the box unchecked, but it didn't
make any changes). Thanks

You should modify userAccountControl attribute value. Here You will find
example how to modify this value:

And here You will find value You need to set for your accounts:

Use the following script code as an example to create your own


If xACCNTPwdNoExp = "" Then
Else
xACCNTControlORG = xobjACCNTdn.Get("userAccountControl")
xACCNTControlBIT = 65536
If Lcase(xACCNTPwdNoExp) = "UNCHECKED" Then
xboolEnable = False
End If
If Lcase(xACCNTPwdNoExp) = "CHECKED" Then
xboolEnable = True
End If
xACCNTControlCALC = xCalcBitFlags(xACCNTControlORG, xACCNTControlBIT,
xboolEnable)
If xACCNTControlORG <> xACCNTControlCALC Then
xobjACCNTdn.Put "userAccountControl", xACCNTControlCALC
End If
End If

Function xCalcBitFlags(xACCNTControlORG, xACCNTControlBIT,
xboolEnable)
xCalcBitFlags = xACCNTControlORG
If xboolEnable = TRUE Then
xCalcBitFlags = xACCNTControlORG Or xACCNTControlBIT
Else
If xACCNTControlORG And xACCNTControlBIT Then
xCalcBitFlags = xACCNTControlORG Xor xACCNTControlBIT
End If
End If
End Function
