Password Never Expires

darora2 · 18th June 2007, 18:58

While installing my application using NSIS installer, I am creating a local admin user for the application for whom I want to set the password to never expire.
Is there any API that I can use to set the 'Password Never Expires' option in NSIS.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I translated a bunch of API calls to system plugin commands which can be found on the wiki.

If you have already created the user, you can call NetUserSetInfo from advapi32, using a USER_INFO_1008 structure which contains the UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD attribute.
Hope this helps
