i got this batch file to create a local user login ACCOUNT , the account that i created .. the password never EXPIRES is never checked. How to create a batchfile that create a local login with password never expires?

@echo off
if exist c:\windows\avdone.usr goto done
net user supportdept spp123 /add
net localgroup administrators supportdept /add
echo hello > c:\windows\avdone.usr
:doneNightShyamalan:

Good to see you back. Your request really needs to be done with a script; specifically a WMI Script. But SINCE you want batch language, check out this site:

http://publibn.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/cmds/aixcmds4/net.htm#HDRUSER

It explains everything you'll ever need to know about the NET command.

Good luck. @echo off
if exist c:\windows\avdone.usr goto done
net user supportdept spp123 /add /expires:never
net localgroup administrators supportdept /add
echo hello > c:\windows\avdone.usr

does this work?? i just addes /expires:never but the setting is not checked at the username properties.I could not find that Expires is a parameter of the NET command. Do yourself a FAVOR a download the Portable Script Center from:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/createit.mspx

It's more help than you thought possible. ALSO shouldn't the NET statements in your file be flipped (create the localgroup before the user?).

Hope this helps. awsome site sidewinder ... thanks for your help
