title: Changing user properties in powershell
body: <p>I have a script that creates a user and assigns the password and the user to a group but I need to get 2 check boxes ticked - 'User cannot change password' and 'Password never expires' but for the life of me I cannot find out how to do this.</p>
  
  <p>My script so far is this:-</p>
  
  <pre><code># Create User and add to IGNITEWEBUSERS Group
  $user = $domain
  
  # If more then 15 chars trim to just 15 chars
  $user = $user.substring(0, 15)
  $user = $user + "_web"
  
  # Generate Random Complex Password
  # Generate a password with 2 non-alphanumeric character.
  $Length = 10
  $Assembly = Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Web
  $RandomComplexPassword = [System.Web.Security.Membership]::GeneratePassword($Length,2)
  $password = $RandomComplexPassword
  
  $group = 'IGNITEWEBUSERS'
  $objOu = [ADSI]"WinNT://$computer"
  $objUser = $objOU.Create("User", $user)
  $objUser.setpassword($password)
  $objUser.SetInfo()
  $objUser.description = $domain + " IIS User"
  $objUser.SetInfo()
  $OBjOU = [ADSI]"WinNT://$computer/$group,group"
  $OBjOU.Add("WinNT://$computer/$user")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That works and does what it should do but anyone know how I can set those 2 check boxes?
  Various threads suggest something similar to <code>Set-ADUser -CannotChangePassword:$true</code> but am not using Active Directory and this doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>Your advice appreciated</p>
  
  <p>Paul</p>
