Changing user properties in powershell

Question

I have a script that creates a user and assigns the password and the user to a group but I need to get 2 check boxes ticked - 'User cannot change password' and 'Password never expires' but for the life of me I cannot find out how to do this.

My script so far is this:-

# Create User and add to IGNITEWEBUSERS Group
$user = $domain

# If more then 15 chars trim to just 15 chars
$user = $user.substring(0, 15)
$user = $user + "_web"

# Generate Random Complex Password
# Generate a password with 2 non-alphanumeric character.
$Length = 10
$Assembly = Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Web
$RandomComplexPassword = [System.Web.Security.Membership]::GeneratePassword($Length,2)
$password = $RandomComplexPassword

$group = 'IGNITEWEBUSERS'
$objOu = [ADSI]"WinNT://$computer"
$objUser = $objOU.Create("User", $user)
$objUser.setpassword($password)
$objUser.SetInfo()
$objUser.description = $domain + " IIS User"
$objUser.SetInfo()
$OBjOU = [ADSI]"WinNT://$computer/$group,group"
$OBjOU.Add("WinNT://$computer/$user")

That works and does what it should do but anyone know how I can set those 2 check boxes? Various threads suggest something similar to Set-ADUser -CannotChangePassword:$true but am not using Active Directory and this doesn't work.

Your advice appreciated

今天早上弄明白： -

$objUser.UserFlags = 64 + 65536 # ADS_UF_PASSWD_CANT_CHANGE + ADS_UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD

Answer 2

Set the useraccountcontrol property. You can find a list of useraccountcontrol flags here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305144

Add the values of the flags you want (NORMAL_ACCOUNT = 512, PASSWD_CANT_CHANGE = 64, DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWORD = 65536) for a total of 66112, and set the property to that number:

$obUser.useraccountcontrol = 66112

BTW, you only need to call the SetInfo() method once at the end, after setting all the properties you want to set.

Use WMI to get the user account:

# Use this filter so WMI doesn't spend forever talking to domain controllers.
$user = Get-WmiObject Win32_UserAccount -Filter ("Domain='{0}' and Name='{1}'" -f $env:ComputerName,$Username)
$user.PasswordChangeable = $false
$user.PasswordExpires = $false
$user.Put()
