RE: active directory password policy

There is a script on Microsoft' Script Center that will help you to list
when a password expires for a specific user.

vb08.mspx

With some scripting knowledge you can modify it so it lists all users
and even send e-mail to "critical users".

Subject: active directory password policy 

Does anyone have any experience with remote users who do not login to 
the domain on a regular basis or at all, and have a password expiration 
policy in effect? We can't seem to come up with a good plan to handle 
these users. They only occassionally access domain resources such as 
webmail via the Internet or an internal website to do timesheets via 
vpn, and will not have the luxury of logging on to a machine connected 
to our LAN and getting the warning about soon to expire passwords. If 
our policy dictates passwords expire every 90 days, how can we avoid the

inevitable calls regarding password resets?
