Ensuring Password Expiry Lab

Group Policy
#1

I don’t remember this being covered in the lecture, but in Lab 16 I couldn’t find the password expiry time because the account password was set to not expire. I didn’t notice it until I was unlocking the account after testing locking it. This might be something to mention in the lectures leading up to this lab.

Also, the PowerShell command in the Fine Grained password policy resources has a couple typos in it

Get-ADUser -filter {GivenName -eq Paul} –Properties “DisplayName”,“msDS-UserPasswordExpiryTimeComputed” | Select-Object -Property “Displayname”,@{Name=“ExpiryDate”;Expression={[datetime]::FromFileTime($_.“msDS-UserPasswordExpiryTimeComputed”)}}

Hi @matthew.stricker15

We have modified the script in the lecture and the attached document. Also, we have added a note in the lab instructions to uncheck the “Password never expires” checkmark under Paul Hill’s account before checking with PowerShell.

Thank you for your valuable feedback.
