Final answer:

To ensure passwords of all user accounts never expire, you can set a Group Policy to disable password expiration or manually update each user account.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ways to ensure that passwords of ALL user accounts are set to never expire:

  1. Set a Group Policy to disable password expiration: In a Windows domain environment, you can use Group Policy to enforce password policies. By modifying the Password Policy settings, you can disable password expiration for all user accounts.
  2. Manually update each user account: If you have a small number of user accounts, you can manually update each account to set the password to never expire. This can be done through the user account settings or using a scripting language like PowerShell.

Note: It is generally recommended to have password expiration as a security measure to ensure regular password changes and prevent unauthorized access.
