Hi,

Win2k AD.

We have users the connect via vpn, which works fine, but means that they do
not get promted when their password is expriing. Is there a method to find
out when a password for an account (or multiple accounts) is due to expire,
like a report you can get from AD or similar?

Would save my org a bit of pain (and 200 Helpdesk calls a year)

TIA, Andrew
 
Thanks Paul.

Will this work for all users in a domain? I'd rather not try to get this
info on a user by user basis, if it's possible to retrieve a list of all
users with relevant output, that would be superb.

If the help desk wanted a specific user:
net user <username> /domain|find "Password expires"

Thankyou so much Jerald.

That is absolutley perfect and will save my org lots of time.

Cheers, Andrew
 
Am I correct in interpreting the "-days" flag as attempting to tell me which
passwords will expire in "days" days?
 
From the usage (findexpacc /?)

-days x Best effort look into future by x days, I call
this best effort because it is # of days * 24 hours
look ahead, it doesn't go to the beginning of the
specified day.
