Disable password expiration on Windows Hyper-V server

Back in April I wrong a quick entry about not being able to use the Hyper-V Remote manager to access the Hyper-V server. I was getting the error “Cannot connect to the RPC service on computer…” because my credentials on the server had expired. Today I finally got around to changing the account security policy on the server to prevent password from expiring. The command is:

NET accounts /MAXPWAGE:UNLIMITED

  1. Awesome. See, this is how you do it. A direct answer for a specific question. If Microsoft were to answer this same question, the answer would be 4 pages long and would have links to 15 other KB articles.

    Thanks so much!

  2. Awesome. I Agree with Gophergutz. Microsoft would answer this with a 4 pages long article which wouldn't be as clear as your response. That's just what I was looking for a long time. I guess this command applies to every single account created in that server and it affect only to pwd expiration time, not changing anything else about account security policy. I'm right?
