PsExec may come in handy here to pipe the output of "net accounts" to a
text file.

From a WMI perspective, there is unfortunately no one reliable place to
get this. Win32_NetworkLoginProfile will return Password Age, Bad
Password Count and Password Expiration time for a given user logged into
a system. Win32_UserAccount holds some of this info for a local user
account. You would think RSOP would hold this on the local system but
alas, it is not very reliable on returning this but in fact its not if
you are trying to query the remote machine's RSOP namespace (root\RSOP).
I would say that the MOST reliable way to get it is to use the LSA*
Win32 APIs to query these values directly from the SAM on that system,
but alas, I haven't used them specifically and don't have a lot of
information for you on doing this.
If you can run a remote shell on a system, you can simply type 'Net
Accounts' to get the local effective password policy.

I'm looking for a way to remotely obtain the password policies of a
group of servers that are not part of a domain. I was looking to see if
there was a WMIobject I can work with for powershell. Any ideas?
