ChangePasswordAtLogon for LocalUser

I found this post helpful. PowerShell - User Must Change Password at Next Logon

Is it possible to force a user to set a password on next sign in by using something like this?

Set-LocalUser -ChangePasswordAtLogon:$true

I get a NamedParameter error when trying the script above.

What's the best way to force a local user account to reset a password upon login?

Solution

  • The Set-LocalUser cmdlet does not have a parameter ChangePasswordAtLogon

    Try

    Set-LocalUser -Name "TheUser" -PasswordNeverExpires $false

    or use

    $user = [ADSI]"WinNT://$env:ComputerName/TheUserName,user"
$user.PasswordExpired = 1
$user.SetInfo()
