One simple alternative is netpwage.exe - google for it. You specify
computers or users, and the number of days since last password change,
and it'll give you a list of objects that are haven't changed their
password in at least that long.

It's old, but still works just fine - though I've found that the
objects it lists aren't always moribund.
