Hi ,
I was looking for a way to set a password expiration to a specific date
using the user's "pwdlastset" attribute.
The problem is that it seems impossible to set the attribute to a value
other than 0 ( which set the user to change the password at next logon ) .

Does anyone know how to solve it ?

thanks
Stefano

I don't believe you can assign a specific password expiration date. The best
I am aware of is to run a script at the desired date and time that expires
the password by assigning the value 0 to the pwdLastSet attribute.
