PowerShell is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language built on .NET.

1. Firstly, we will go to Administrative Tools

2. Then click on Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell.

3. After that we can import the Active Directory module in Powershell.

And running the PowerShell script will prevent the domain password from expiring again.

4.For instance if we have a domain account we can replace PCunlocker with the domain account.

PCUnlocker is a bootable utility that allows us to bypass or reset forgotten passwords.

Generally, we use this to reset administrator or other user passwords.

5. Finally, we will use the following command for disabling password expiration:

Set-LocalUser -Name "pcunlocker" -PasswordNeverExpires 1

Therefore, this command prevents passwords from expiring.
