NET USER command-line
in [Windows Servers]

From: Virtual_Ron on 16 Nov 2006 21:35 Hi, Windows 2000 & 2003 servers (not active directorys) I'm trying to set the "password never expires" on users, via the command line. I read the help file on the command, and type the following: "net users username /expires:NEVER" and it replys "The command completed successfully". Yet, in the user properties, in computer management... the "Password Never Expires" box is not checked. Is what I'm trying to do possible? I have many users on many servers that need this prompt set... I want to do it via batch program. Doing it thru the windows interface will take weeks. Thanks! Ron

NEVER sets no time limit on the" Note how it speaks about the "account" expiring, not the "password"? If you're in a domain environment than you can set the password expiry rule via a domain policy. No need for a command line option.
