Syntax
Clear-ADAccountExpiration [-Identity] ADAccount
[-AuthType {Negotiate | Basic}] [-Credential PSCredential]
[-Partition string] [-PassThru] [-Server string]
[-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [CommonParameters]
Key
-AuthType {Negotiate | Basic}
The authentication method to use: Negotiate (or 0), Basic (or 1)
A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection is required for Basic authentication.
-Credential PSCredential
A user account that has permission to perform this action.
The default is the current user unless the cmdlet is run from an AD PowerShell provider drive
in which case the account associated with the drive is the default.
"User64" or "Domain01\User64" or a PSCredential object.
-Identity ADAccount
Specify an AD domain object by providing one of the following values.
(The identifier in parentheses is the LDAP display name for the attribute.)
Distinguished Name
Example: DC=Helvetia,DC=corp,DC=SS64,DC=com
GUID (objectGUID)
Example: 599c4d2e-f72d-4d20-8a78-030d69495f20
Security Identifier (objectSid)
Example: S-1-5-21-5165297888-301467370-576410423-1803
Security Accounts Manager (SAM) Account Name (sAMAccountName)
Example: Helvetia
The cmdlet searches the default naming context or partition to find the object.
If two or more objects are found, the cmdlet returns a non-terminating error.
This parameter can also get this object through the pipeline or you can set this
parameter to an object instance.
-Partition string
The distinguished name of an AD partition.
The distinguished name must be one of the naming contexts on the current
directory server. The cmdlet searches this partition to find the object defined by
the -Identity parameter.
The following two examples show how to specify a value for this parameter.
-Partition "CN=Configuration,DC=Europe,DC=Test,DC=SS64,DC=com"
-Partition "CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=Europe,DC=Test,DC=SS64,DC=com"
In many cases, a default value will be used for the Partition parameter if no value
is specified.
-PassThru
Return the new or modified object.
By default (i.e. if -PassThru is not specified), this cmdlet does not generate any output.
-Server string
The AD Domain Services instance to connect to, this may be a Fully qualified domain name,
NetBIOS name, Fully qualified directory server name (with or without port number) or AD Snapshot instance.
Examples: demo.SS64.com demo demoDC02.demo.ss64.com demoDC02.demo.ss64.com:3268
-Confirm
Prompt for confirmation before executing the command.
-WhatIf
Describe what would happen if you executed the command, without actually executing the command.
CommonParameters:
-Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -WarningAction, -WarningVariable,
-OutBuffer -OutVariable.
Clear-ADAccountExpiration clears the expiration date for an Active Directory user or computer account. When the expiry date for an account is cleared, the account does not expire. The -Identity parameter specifies the user or computer account to modify.
Examples
Clear the account expiration date for the user with SamAccountName: TommyEllis:
PS C:\> Clear-ADAccountExpiration -Identity TommyEllis
Clear the account expiration date for the user with DistinguishedName: "CN=TommyEllis,DC=AppNC" on the AD LDS instance: "SS64SVR1:60000"
PS C:\> Clear-ADAccountExpiration -Identity "CN=TommyEllis,DC=AppNC" -server "SS64SVR1:60000"
