We have an established policy that user passwords expire
every 45 days. Is there a way to tell the exact date &
time when a specific account will expire? I have
attempted to use Active Directory and Dameware to tell me
this info.

Thanks

Net Accounts I am not sure what the correct syntax is but you can figure it
out.
 
Thanks for the reply.

From what I am reading about the Net Accounts command it
is used to establish account (password) changes. I don't
want to change anything I just want to know when a
specific accounts password is going to expire - time &
date.
 
Net user username will indirectly tell you by showing when password was last set but
the Windows 2003 AD command line tools may help. If you have an XP Pro computer in
the domain you can install W2003 Adminpak on it and use the AD command line tools.
The dsquery tool has a -stalepwd function that will display all users based on your
search criteria that have a password over a certain number of weeks old. You can also
pipe that list over to the dsmod command if you want to modify their account
properties such as force them to change password at next logon. The links below
explain more. --- Steve
