In Novell you can easily print out user settings such as
password length and expiration date among others. Every
time I migrate someone from Novell to AD I get this
question. Surely there is an inexpensive third party tool
to do this in AD (unless there is a way to natively do
this, but I am not aware of any). Has anyone implemented
such a solution that they can recommend?? Thanks in
advance.

That would need to be scripted to extract the data. I found one that will do
something similar, but can't remember if it showed me password length and
expiration, but assume those attributes can be added, just as any other
attribute. Check these two places for free scripts:

www.technet.com and click on the Scriptin Center link on the left. Then
check the "users" link.
http://cwashington.netreach.net. There are hundreds of free and fully
functional scripts here. Search on "user".
