Robin: im not want to create or delete, there is an existing built in administrator inside windows which is disabled by default - i want to enable it, set password and then tick password never expires.

Doreen D'Silva: You could use the script from this link https://scripts.itarian.com/frontend/web/topic/script-to-create-or-delete-user-account-and-add-or-remove-to-given-group and delete everything from line 33 onwards.

Simply add the following at the end instead

ret,out,err = ecmd('net "%s" /active:yes'%(username))

if ret==0:

if out:

print(out)

print('successfully activated the user account')

else:

print(err)

ret,out,err = ecmd('net user "%s" %s'%(username,password)

if ret==0:

if out:

print(out)

print('successfully set password')

else:

print(err)

ret,out,err = ecmd('net user "%s" /passwordneverexpires yes'%(username)

if ret==0:

if out:

print(out)

print('successfully set password to never expire')

else:

print(err)

This should do the trick!
