| | Re: Password never expires Vista Basic I believe I found a solution that works for Vista Basic. This link is the source: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251394 Although the article does not pertain to Vista versions I have implamented the following: To set user cannot change password: net users "username" /passwordchg : no To set user account to not expire: net users "username" / expires: never I hope this helps someone.

| | Re: Password never expires Vista Basic Dennis You set the 'username' account to never expire, but this does not effect the password. To set the password to never expire, you need to use the following command. net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited You need to run this from an elevated command prompt. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Dennis" <dennis@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:46daed2f$0$3579$815e3792@xxxxxx Quote: >I believe I found a solution that works for Vista Basic. > > This link is the source: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251394 > Although the article does not pertain to Vista versions I have implamented > the following: > > To set user cannot change password: > net users "username" /passwordchg : no > To set user account to not expire: > net users "username" / expires: never > > I hope this helps someone. > Dennis > > > > "Dennis" <dennis@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:46da3846$0$492$815e3792@xxxxxx Quote: >> Is there a way to set the "User" accounts to password never expires and >> cannot change password? >> > |
