Account Expiration

Account Expiration Date can be set using the AccountExpiration method in the IADsUser interface.

Set usr = GetObject("WinNT://Fabrikam/JSmith")
usr.AccountExpirationDate = "05/06/1998"
usr.SetInfo

To set the account expiration date to "never", use "January 1, 1970" as the parameter.

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 this property to "January 1, 1970".

Example Code [Visual Basic]

Set usr = GetObject("WinNT://Fabrikam/JSmith")
usr.AccountExpirationDate = "05/06/1998"
usr.SetInfo
 
// to enable the account forever,
usr.AccountExpirationDate = "01/01/1970"
usr.SetInfo

Example Code [C++]

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

   HRESULT hr = S_OK;
   hr = pUser->put_AccountExpirationDate(date); // expires on date
   
   hr = pUser->SetInfo();
   hr = pUser->Release();
   return;
}
