Just tuned in to this thread. I'm in a similar situation as you William, trying to get them to put a Dev/Test environment in the budget. Amazing how many organizations have multiple environments for all their business applications, but AD gets treated as a second class citizen.

Also at a .gov coincidentally. You'd think it wouldn't be such a novel concept that perhaps you shouldn't test in environments where you can potentially impact provided services...but it is here. I've finally got them to add it to this years budget, so in July I get to stand up a QA forest. Now getting the devs to use it will be the next challenge. :P - WJR On Mon, Jun 3, 2013 at 1:29 PM, Heaton, Joseph@Wildlife < [email protected]> wrote: That’s about the size of it. I’m talking with our architect, and he agrees that we should stand up a test domain, so we’ll be doing that, and I’ll do an LDIF export/import of our user base so we have “stuff” to play with.

The parameters at the top of the script are what I have to set beforehand. Do I have to do something with all of them? To begin with, I want this to only come to me, so I set $adminEmailOnly = $True, is that correct? I don’t think we’re using ANR, so I left that alone. I do want a report afterwards, so I need to leave $Quiet blank? Just want to get these clarifications before I run it the first time. Unfortunately, I don’t have a test domain to play in, so it will be run against our production domain. I don’t want any notifications sent to the users until I’m satisfied with it.

I have a lots of users that are part of the domain but their laptops are not physically connected to the domain (commuting users). But, these users are all always connected to our Exchange 2010 mail server. How can I notify (automated) these users in advance of 14 days to change the password?
