Directory >> No Password Expire I need to set in the GPO a setting where my users password never expires. I
have read the post on here but have not found what I am looking for. They
are being asked to change it every 14 days. Help!

This is generally a very poor practice. Passwords SHOULD
expire.

You can however change the password expiration in the GPO
Computer->Windows settings->Security->Account->Password
policies.

This GPO MUST be linked to the DOMAIN if you wish to affect
domain accounts (i.e.., not linked to an OU or Site).

Why not change the expiration period fr,m 14 days to 60 or 90 days?
