I've been using Michael's script for about a year now, works great and our VPN users really appreciate it.

From: Cameron [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2011 5:03 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: [Bulk] Re: Password expirations There is a free one that works pretty well. www.netwrix.com<http://www.netwrix.com/> (check the freeware section). It actually emails the users to tell them...I think the default is 14 days before...it will also send you an email with all the passwords that are going to expire within that period. The only thing I had to do was block the website on our ISA server, because as much as I tell/email NOT to click on the link that the paid version enables they still do. Then I get an email from them saying "hey..my password expired and the link doesn't work!" So I forward off my latest email to them. HTH! Cameron On Thu, Jul 7, 2011 at 4:50 PM, Michael B.

Most of my users only shut down/log out once a week at most (Friday night) so they often go several days with an expired password and never know it until they try and access a network drive and are denied. I know, I could probably force the system to log them out every night at 7PM or something, but that's really more work than I want to do, among other things. :) Thanks Thanks, John Aldrich IT Manager, Blueridge Carpet 706-276-2001, Ext. 2233<tel:706-276-2001%2C%20Ext.%202233> ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
