How do I set "Password not required" to false in AD?

[stevenjohnson]

I can create objects, and reset the passwords, but I do not know how to set the password not required field to false?

Hi Steven,

I don't see any field OOB "Password not required". However you can set the target fields with the below syntax in import sets.

target.u_password = 'true'; //Assuming u_password is the column name of the target field at target table.

In AD, follow this cmd.exe command: net user joe /passwordreq:no

You can set the userAccountControl AD property (with Update AD Object activity or Run Powershell) so that the 544 - PASSWD_NOTREQD flag is not set.

We normally set the userAccountControl of each new account to this:

• 8389120 - Password Expired, Normal Account
