Set password never to expire for users in a particular domain (Bulk mode)

January 3, 2017January 3, 2017

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:

#Connect of Office365
Import-Module MSOnline
$O365Cred = Get-Credential
$O365Session = New-PSSession â€“ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $O365Cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $O365Session
Connect-MsolService â€“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
}

#Connect of Office365

Import-Module MSOnline

$O365Cred = Get-Credential

$O365Session = New-PSSession â€“ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $O365Cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

Import-PSSession $O365Session

Connect-MsolService â€“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

}

Setting it for a single user:

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

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

Get PasswordAge for users in a particular domain

In Office365 if you have more than one domain in a subscription, there are times where you may want to get the password age for users of that domain. In my case to check which users are covered and meeting policy and get the users addressed.

Get-MsolUser -All -DomainName "yourdomainname.com" | select DisplayName, LastPasswordChangeTimeStamp,@{Name=â€PasswordAgeâ€;Expression={(Get-Date)-$_.LastPasswordChangeTimeStamp}}

1	Get-MsolUser -All -DomainName "yourdomainname.com" \| select DisplayName, LastPasswordChangeTimeStamp,@{Name=â€PasswordAgeâ€;Expression={(Get-Date)-$_.LastPasswordChangeTimeStamp}}

The output will be similar to:

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.

No one intends this but it is a problem that sooner or later you will be come across in your system administrator career. I’ve see this resolved many different ways, but I like to narrow it down to a particular OU. Depending on your case you may want to clean this across the board in…
