This code can possibly generate emails to 100,000s of users.

If/when you're ready to deploy it to production, you should employ a solid change control process and a controlled release.

Did I mention you should test/validate the code?

Note the script author has validated the codeР’В via his own testing on Windows Server 2008 R2.

As with ANY code, you should always test/validate its behavior in an isolated lab.

The code we discuss here is an additional layer beyondР’В code from a PFE it is code from a Microsoft MVP resource.

PFEs don't normally provide code beyond sample or 'proof of concept' code.

The particular script my customer foundР’В was the work of Microsoft MVP Robert Pearman and he deserves the Kudos for initially putting it together, as well as severalР’В refinements to it (including support forР’В Fine Grained Password Policies). I thought it would make a helpful blog post to cover some of the details and considerations when implementing a solution like this. The scriptР’В queries the pwdLastSet attribute of user accounts in AD and the MaxPwdAge property within the domain, then does some time computations and sends an email to those users who are near a password expiration 'event.' Recently, a customer asked for some help implementing a solution for this issue based on a script they'd found on the Microsoft TechNet Script Center. Statistics show that some of the most common calls to the helpdesk are password-related and implementing aР’В process like the one covered here could really make a dent in your helpdesk call volumeР’В and costs. What about thoseР’В BYOD or mobile users orР’В users of web apps/email? More often than not, these users will have to call the helpdesk because they had no idea their domain passwords were going to expire. Have you ever had a need to configure notifications for user's password expirations but found that existing solutions didn't quite fit the bill? We all know you can use built-in solutions with Windows and Active Directory/Group Policy but this requires users to interactively log-on to a network-based computer. I have been with Microsoft for nearly three yearsР’В and this is my first blog post. Hi there! Mike Kullish, here.Р’В I'm a PFE based out of Minneapolis, MN with a focus onР’В AD, Hyper-V and DFS but IР’В try to help customers with anythingР’В on theР’В Windows Desktop and/or Server platforms.
