Enabling "User must change password at first login"

Asked by DaleHarris in MSH/Monad PowerShell

Tags: Powershell, 2.0 CTP V2

So my code has been working fine for a while now.  I attempted to get the "User Must Change Password at First Login" to be checked, but it NEVER worked.  All the rest is fine, like I said.

I think my issue lies with not Powershell, but with ADSI.  I looked around for a couple days on the net a while back, and didn't find a way to do this.  I tried to to use the -objectAttributes custom change, but that didn't work either.  From what I recall, if you change the pwdLastSet to 0, and then set userAccountControl to 512, you should be able to get the "User Must Change..." to be checked.  Obviously this didn't work.  Anyone have any ideas?  BSonPosh?  I got some more questions for you after this one too, so stay tuned :)

And also I have QAD addin installed.  At the time I write this script (February I think), I had the latest QAD release.  I don't think the problem resides in the QAD though.  In thinking about this as I'm writing, I'm also wondering if I would have to change that attribute AFTER I create the account.  Which I think I might have tried, but I can't really recall.

Thanks for any help in advance.Start Free Trial
