<x-tad-bigger>When you need to legitimately send a VBS file or other type file that is frequently targeted as a virus, what is a good and acceptable way to send it so that it doesn’t get blocked?</x-tad-bigger>

<x-tad-bigger>Of course the double-edged sword there is that if legitimate users find a way to “safely” send such files, of course the bad guys will too.</x-tad-bigger>

<x-tad-bigger>I need to find which users have their accounts currently flagged to require a password change on next logon. Can that be done with dsquery user –stalepwd? If so, what value would I use? Or, is there a different solution I should be using?</x-tad-bigger>
