Set Windows/AD password so that it “never expires”?

Question

Here is my code:

using (DirectoryEntry AD = new DirectoryEntry(\"WinNT://\" + Environment.MachineName +    \",computer\"))
{
   DirectoryEntry NewUser = AD.C         


        

Answer 1

This is my code to resolve this issue:

// Add new user to OU
var username = "testuser_01";
var userDn = "LDAP://yourdomain.local:389/OU=testou,cn=yourdomain,cn=local";
var ouUserEntry = new DirectoryEntry(userDn, "yourAdminUser", "yourAdminPassword", AuthenticationTypes.Secure);
var newUserEntry = ouUserEntry.Children.Add("CN="+ username, "user");
newUserEntry.Properties["sAMAccountName"].Value = username;
newUserEntry.Properties["userPrincipalName"].Value = username + "@abc.com";
newUserEntry.Properties["displayName"].Value = username;

// Commit before enable account
newUserEntry.CommitChanges();

// Set password
newUserEntry.Invoke("SetPassword", "yourUserPassword");

// Enable Account & Password never expired (NORMAL_ACCOUNT | DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWORD)
newUserEntry.Properties["userAccountControl"].Value = 66080; // integer value in image above
newUserEntry.CommitChanges();
