Get-ADUser AccountExpirationDate

Question

I am having some difficulties with the output of the Account Expiration Date from some users in our AD.

This is the code I am using:

Get-ADUser -Properties AccountExpirationDate

Problem is when I have a user in AD that has not set a expiration date it shows blank. I want that it shows 'Never Expires' because that is the case. When I check a user with expiration date it will show me the exact expiry date.

I also tried with if else statement, but no luck so far.

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Ralph

Answer 1

Test if the value is $null :

$user = Get-ADUser $username -Properties AccountExpirationDate |Select SAMAccountName,@{Name='AccountExpiration'; Expression={if($null -eq $_.AccountExpirationDate){'Never Expires'}else{$_.AccountExpirationDate}}}

Answer 2

Another way could be to also ask for the LDAP accountExpires property, which is a numeric value.
If that user property equals to 0 or 9223372036854775807, then the account never expires.

Get-ADUser -Properties AccountExpirationDate, accountExpires | 
Select-Object Name, DistinguishedName, 
              @{Name = 'AccountExpirationDate'
                Expression = {
                    if ($_.accountExpires -gt 0 -and $_.accountExpires -ne 9223372036854775807) { $_.AccountExpirationDate }
                    else { 'Never Expires' }
                }}
