How about a different approach? Have a weekly task that looks at expiring passwords. It e-mails users that have fallen below a certain threshold. We used to have a task as such but is no longer used. I can't find it or I would offer it to you. It shouldn't take you more than a few hours to code though.

A large number of my users are not connected to the domain. This makes it difficult to enable GPO's for expiring passwords every 90 days because their ONLY interaction with something that can talk to the domain is via website that require auth (NT Auth). What I ideally want is to be able to set the password age in the GPO and every time they auth to the website, it will check to see if that parameter has been met, and if so, prompt them to change their password, and then let them into the website. If this cannot be done, my next step would be to manually set the "user must change password and net logon" field and have something that checks against this field every time they try to auth to a website. This would be done via SSL so there are no plain text passwords. It would obviously have to be some kind of applications/ISAPI/ASP/whatever that runs as the actual auth, instead of relying on the IIS auth. I'm just not sure if something exists,or can be coded to do this. ******************************************************** This weeks sponsor Emergent Online.
