Local user has expired Server 2008
I have had 3 servers now come up saying "User has expired", nothing about the password. I logged into the server as admin, checked the user profile and the password was set to never expire and wasn't locked out. This is a local user on the machine, no
AD or DC in place. Is there a local policy that expires the user accounts?

What about the user's expiration date?

Hi wolfe87,
Thanks for posting here.
What was the particular error message when failed logon and get the expiration prompt? And is there any error or warring that regarding with account issue been recorded
in event viewer can be verified ?
Please follow what Liran suggested to double check account’s properties to ensure everything were be properly set.
Thanks.

Thank you for the suggestion, but what ended up being the fix was the following command
net user <username> /expires: never
The strange thing is that in user management, it showed that the user wasn't supposed to expire. You can see when/if a user is supposed to expire by using this command:
net user <username>
Hope this is useful to anybody else that comes across this issue.
