PasswordExpired Attribute + VBScript.

[purephase]

I'm trying to add a bunch of users via a script and a delimited file.

Here's the snippet:

objUser.AccountDisabled = False
objUser.Put "PasswordExpired", 1
objUser.Put "pwdLastSet", 0
objUser.SetInfo

It is all working except the "PasswordExpired" option, which according to all I've read is correct for forcing the users to reset their passwords the first time they login.

However, when the script is run it errors on the subsequest SetInfo since "The specified directory service attribute or value does not exist".

Has anyone else ever encountered this? Even using ADSI Edit I cannot see the PasswordExpired attribute in the Optional list for a user object.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

HI.

Go to Technet Script Center, you'll find many answers, including the ADSI scriptomatic which will help you build your script:

Hey, thanks for the reply.

I'll check out scriptomatic, but for now, I did figure out the solution.

objUser.Put "pwdLastSet", 0

This is all I needed. It does what:

objUser.Put "PasswordExpired", 1

was supposed to do. I'm not sure how anyone ever got the latter to work, and I've seen it in a lot of documentation.
