Set PasswordNeverExpires flag for Local User Group through Powershell

I need to be able to change the PasswordNeverExpires option in the Local User Group properties area.

User Properties Example

I already know that I will have to use a flag in order to perform this action as stated in the article:

How to use the UserAccountControl flags to manipulate user account properties

How would I be able to target the user in question through a Powershell script?

Thanks

This will also work.

Set-LocalUser -Name "Administrator" -PasswordNeverExpires:$true

See: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt651674.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

I figured it out.

Here is a link with more information:

[Win 7] setting the option "Password never expires" for a specific local user

Basically, you'd create a script like so:

$user = [adsi]"WinNT://$env:computername/administrator"
$user.UserFlags.value = $user.UserFlags.value -bor 0x10000
$user.CommitChanges()

And then run it, making sure that you replace 'administrator' with the user in question.
