Managing expiring group memberships

Group memberships can alternatively be configured to expire.

Getting ready

To use expiring group memberships, the Active Directory FFL needs to be Windows Server 2012 R2, or a later version.

The optional Privileged Access Management feature needs to be enabled. This can be achieved using the following line of PowerShell on a system with the Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell installed:

Enable-ADOptionalFeature 'Privileged Access Management Feature' -Scope ForestOrConfigurationSet -Target lucernPub.com

To manage a group, sign in to a domain controller, a member server, or a device with RSAT for Active Directory Domain Services installed.

Sign in with an account that is a member of the Domain Admins group, the Account Operators group, or with an account that is delegated to write properties of groups in the domain or in the scope of the OU where the group is to be managed.
