There is a free one that works pretty well. 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.
