1) If you are not using Windows 8.1 then Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj151815.aspx and click on the link install Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant for IT Professionals RTW, then on the same webpage click on the link to install the Windows Azure Active Directory Module (select 32-bit or 64-bit depending on your O/S)

2) On Windows 8.1 run Powershell as Administrator or on your PC launch Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows Powershell – ensure you select “run as Adminstrator”. When the powershell command window opens enter the following commands:

Get-MSOLUser | Set-MsolUser -PasswordNeverExpires $true
