Setting Password Expiry Date is important for organizational security. With Active Directory (AD) users are able to easily and quickly configure expiration dates on all password within the domain. By incorporating regular password expiration cycles, organizations can strengthen security for their systems and protect user accounts.

Follow these steps to set a password expiration date with AD:

• Open Active Directory Users and Computers.
• Right-click on the OU that contains the user accounts that need to be configured.
• Select Properties from the menu.
• Click on the Group Policy tab.
• Create a new GPO, or edit an existing one, and then navigate to User Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Account Policies > Password Policy.
• In the Maximum Password Age section specify the desired expiration date.
• Save the GPO.
• Link the GPO to the appropriate OU(s).

With these steps, admins can easily configure password expiration dates within their Active Directory environments. Administrators should ensure that expiration dates are regularly changed to boost security and avoid potential risks.
