fix

This issue is addressed in NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator and Exchange Administrator version 7.5 Hotfix 51486.

Hotfix 51486 addresses an issue with setting the user account expiration date to Never using the Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) command-line interface (CLI). When you use the CLI to set a user account expiration date to Never, Active Directory displays the date as December 30, 1969. This hotfix corrects this issue and ensures the CLI correctly saves user account expiration dates set to Never.

Note: This hotfix requires DRA version 7.5.

To download and install this hotfix:

  1. Close all DRA user interfaces.
  2. Run the DRA75000_Hotfix51486.msi file on each Administration server computer and on each computer where you installed the Account and Resource Management console or Delegation and Configuration console.

Hotfix 51486 modifies the EA.exe file on each computer where you installed the Administration server and on each computer where you installed the Account and Resource Management console or Delegation and Configuration console. By default, this file is located in the Program Files\NetIQ\DRA folder.
