issue in powershell command launch

[t0nZ]

I am adding some functions to my little swiss knife of this post, and because I find very annoying the fact that windows 11 keep me asking to change/set password of my local users, I want to disable this with a button.

I posted below an example, where with the same tecnique I launch 2 functions, the first rename the pc and works well, the second one disable psw expiration for my local user but it's not working.

The script has to be launched as non admin user and it will ask/require elevated powershell at runtime.

I am going crazy😵 figuring out why the function _Set_PswExp4LocalUser() doesn't work, also with no evident errors.

If you try this out of AutoIt,  on a non admin powershell prompt:

PS C:\Users\utente> start-process -verb runas 'powershell.exe' -argumentlist @('-executionpolicy unrestricted',' -command Set-LocalUser -Name utente -PasswordNeverExpires $true')
PS C:\Users\utente> LUSRMGR.MSC
PS C:\Users\utente>

IT's working ! And with LUSRMGR.MSC you can check the user "utente" has now NO expiration...

But it's not working from the code...

Someone has ideas?😅

 

 

_RenamePC("YourPreferredPcName")

_Set_PswExp4LocalUsers()


Func _Set_PswExp4LocalUsers() ;V.2.83

    ;many many tests....

    ;Local $StartProcess = "start-process -verb runas 'powershell.exe' " & _
    ;"-argumentlist @('-executionpolicy unrestricted',' -File " & $Fexp & "')"          ; -Confirm:$false -PassThru')"

    ;       "-argumentlist @('-executionpolicy unrestricted',' -command Set-LocalUser -Name " & @UserName & " -PasswordNeverExpires $true')", '', '', @SW_SHOW)

    ;last test:

            "-argumentlist '-executionpolicy unrestricted -command Set-LocalUser -Name " & @UserName & " -PasswordNeverExpires $true'", "", "", @SW_SHOW)
EndFunc   ;==>_Set_PswExp4LocalUsers

;EXAMPLE
Func _RenamePC($Name)

EndFunc   ;==>_RenamePC

Hi.

disable password expiration in global (UAC elevated execution is required):

$result=shellexecutewait("net","accounts /maxpwage:unlimited")

Simple and neat ! Thank you @rudi
