Hi,
On unity connection is there a way to stop the password expiring for all users and stop people from having to change their passwords every XX days ? all the users have already been created, so is there a quick way to do this without having to go into every user ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Joshua,
Sorry about that, Bulk Edit changed in 8.x from where it
was accessed in 7.x which we run You must be running a newer version.
Here's a clip;
To Edit User Account Information in Bulk Edit Mode (some editing from original)
Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, on the Search Users page, check the applicable user check boxes, and select Bulk Edit.
If the user accounts that you want to edit in bulk do not all appear on one Search page, check all applicable check boxes on the first page, then go to the next page and check all applicable check boxes, and so on, until you have selected all applicable users. Then select Bulk Edit.
Step 2 On the Edit Caller Input page, change settings as applicable.
Note The Status message at the top of the Edit Caller Input page tells you how many user accounts are being edited. Also note that the page is populated only with the fields that you are allowed to edit in bulk mode, and that the fields available for edit also depend on whether all of the user accounts reside on the local server.
Step 3 If applicable, set the Bulk Edit Task Scheduling Fields to schedule the Bulk Edit operation for a later date and/or time.
Step 5 If applicable, continue to change settings for these user accounts on the related pages available from the Edit menu. As you make changes on each page, select Submit before going on to the next page to make additional changes.
Try a couple of test users first to come up with the exact plan.
Cheers!

Hi Joshua,
This can be changed pretty quickly via Bulk Edit
Tools> Bulk Edit Utility> Users with Voicemail> Accounts and Passwords> ** check Does not expire> Update
