Hey, Hi I am back again with the few tips on Active Directory User Accounts. There are few scenarios that we want to expire the account immediately, or sometime we just want to expire account or Password for testing purpose. In case of the password expire, you cannot do it immediately. Instead you can expire the account and select the option for the ‘User must change password at next logon’, so when you login next time password is expired. if you go to your ‘Active Directory Users and Computers’ to the users property, you will not find any facility to expire the user on desired time or just immediate. If you go with the GUI mode, you need to wait till next day. Here are the properties of the User Account on below snap.
