How to configure user passwords to never expire in Office 365
This article describes how to configure user passwords never to expire in Microsoft Office 365. You can use the
Microsoft Online Services Module for Windows PowerShell to set user passwords to never expire.
Note: This procedure does not apply to users who are enabled for single sign-on (SSO). This is because passwords
for SSO-enabled users are managed in the on-premises environment. If you try to perform this procedure for an
SSO-enabled user, you receive output that resembles the following in Windows PowerShell:
Set-MsolUser : Unable to update parameter. Parameter name: PasswordPolicies.
At line:1 char:13
+ Set-MsolUser <<<< -UserPrincipalName [email protected]
-PasswordNeverExpires $true
+ CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (:) [Set-MsolUser], MicrosoftOnlineException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Online.Administration.Automation.PropertyNotSettableException,
Microsoft.Online.Administration.Automation.SetUser
Note: Only passwords for user accounts that are not synchronized through directory synchronization can be
configured to never expire.
