Office 365: Set Password Never Expires

I had a client decide to use Office 365 for their hosted Exchange solution, but did not like the password change requirements the service had. I did some searching for a way to set the passwords to never expire and while there were a few places that had directions, none seemed to have a complete set listed step by step so I thought I would post them here in the hopes that maybe they can help someone else.

• First you need a system with Microsoft Powershell installed. You can download this and find installation instructions for Powershell here.
• Then you need to have the Microsoft Online Services Module installed which you can download here.
• Now you will need to run the following commands in order.
• $LiveCred = Get-Credential - You should then be prompted for your Office 365 admin credentials.
• $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection - You should see a few messages about redirection and then be returned to the prompt.
• Import-PSSession $Session - You will again see a few messages on screen and should then be returned to the prompt. At this point we are connected and ready to work.
• Connect-MSOLService - Connect to the MSOL Service
• Get-MSOLUser - This will provide a list of the users and their User Principal Name which we will need for the next step.
• Set-MSOLUser -UserPrincipalName user@domain.com -PasswordNeverExpires $true -StrongPasswordRequired $true - This will change a single user account's password to never expire. If you want to change all user accounts use the next command.
• Get-MSOLUser | Set-MSOLUser -PasswordNeverExpires $true - This will set all accounts to have non expiring passwords.
• Remove-PSSession $Session - Clean up and close our session when done.

I am not a Powershell expert, but these steps in that order worked well for me so hopefully they are helpful to someone else as well.
