I have created with script file that uses the net command, and this command doesn't permits to activate the flag: Password never expires. After I created the accounts, in 15 days the system locks the accounts because the password has expired, and I don't permit to users to change password!! So, how can I modify all these accounts to activate this flag without to go account per account to modify it?!!
Windows NT 4.0 permited to modify all selecte at the same time, but Wk2 Server no!I have to make a .vbs script? There are a different method to do it more easy?
Thanks,
Marcel

If this is just a stand alone server, look at the Local Security Settings to set a policy that will the set password expiration time.

If this is a domain controller create a GPO or modify the default GPO to change the password expiration time.
