Change password to never expire Windows Server 2016 that is attached to a DC, 2012 R2.

I installed a new 2016 Windows Server and it is attached to our Domain Controller. I got a warning that the administrator login is expiring in one day but the Administrator user on the DC is set to never expire. How do I setup the local server administrator user account with a password that will not expire if this is the issue.

If your password policy is set to other devices (not just PDCe) the password policy applies to local accounts on those devices.

This is what happened after joining the domain
