Account Expiration

You can set the account expiration date by setting the AccountExpirationDate property of the IADsUser interface to a desired date value. To set the account expiration date to "never", set the AccountExpires attribute to –1.

Example Code [Visual Basic]

Set usr = GetObject("LDAP://CN=Jeff smith, OU=Sales, DC=Fabrikam, DC=Com")
usr.AccountExpirationDate = "05/06/1998"
usr.SetInfo
 
// to enable the account forever,
usr.Put "AccountExpires",-1
usr.SetInfo
 

Example Code [C++]

void SetUserAccountExpirationDate(IADsUser *pUser, DATE date)
{
   if(!pUser) return;

   if(!date || date<0) {
      VARIANT var;
      VariantInit(&var);
      V_I4(&var)=-1;
      V_VT(&var)=VT_I4;
      hr = pUser->Put(L"accountExpires", var); // never expires.
      VariantClear(&var);
   }
   else {
      HRESULT hr = S_OK;
      hr = pUser->put_AccountExpirationDate(date); // expires on date
   }
   hr = pUser->SetInfo();
   hr = pUser->Release();
   return;
}
