[README] Add password expiration

Open Ana06 opened this issue 10 months ago • 3 comments

A password expiration blocks the FLARE-VM installation as it asks to change the password after a restart. I had this issue today. Document how to set Password never expires in the user properties in lusrmgr.msc to avoid the issue.

Is this something that we could automate and do early during the installation process?

It seems to just require running WMIC USERACCOUNT WHERE Name='<username here>' SET PasswordExpires=FALSE, but I could be wrong.

It seems to just require running WMIC USERACCOUNT WHERE Name='' SET PasswordExpires=FALSE, but I could be wrong.

have you tried this? It doesn't work for me: image

It would be a better solution to add this to the installer (maybe similar to the checks).

Whoops. That is how you would do it in Command Prompt. It would be a little different if doing it from Powershell: Set-LocalUser -Name "<username here>" -PasswordNeverExpires $true
