Hi,
Follows below instruction for checking password expire set. You need administrator rights for checking below thing.

open RUN menu and type CMD.

You will find command prompt after that you have to type dsqery * -filter.

You will see result of that command and you can also able to find DN is set of users attribute which means passwords never expire option is set for that particular user.

More command help please click on below link.

Locate all users on my Windows Server 2008

first of all you better connect all the client servers to a domain. you can promote one server as a domain controller and then after that from the AD ( Active Directory ) you will be creating all the users inside the domain. from AD users & computers you can simply change the password options to never expire.

or Create a group policy which enable password never expire and link it your domain. then use

gpupdate /force in CMD  and hit enter ( assume that you have Administrator privileges in the domain )

it will enforce the group policy and apply it immediately

then after users will never prompt to change the password

 

thanks
