Let me start by saying that I don’t recommend doing this at all. Password Never Expires is bad security practice, but there are situations that might require it. I had a similar request on how this could be done. Setting it for multiple users:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
#Connect of Office365 Import-Module MSOnline $O365Cred = Get-Credential $O365Session = New-PSSession –ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $O365Cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection Import-PSSession $O365Session Connect-MsolService –Credential $O365Cred #Get a List of user that belong to the second domain $SDusers = Get-MsolUser -All -DomainName "yourseconddomain.com" #Setting the password never to expire ForEach($SDuser in $SDusers) { Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $SDuser -PasswordNeverExpires $true } |

Get-MSOLUser -UserPrincipalName user@domain.com | Select PasswordNeverExpires |

Ran into an interesting situation where pretty much all domain accounts did not follow the default password policy and had the option of ‘password never expires’ checked. I needed to fix this immediately without impacting the users and expiring any accounts that may affect the business. I needed to adjust the password age for all […]
