Password expiry notifications
Email users before and after their Active Directory password expires, on a schedule of days you choose.
AD Web can email users before their password expires and after it has expired. You choose the days, for example 30, 10 and 1 day before expiry.
Both notifications use email templates that are off by default. Turn them on in Admin > Email Templates.
Note
AD Web works out expiry dates from the password age you set for each domain. Make sure it matches Maximum password age in your Group Policy. See Manage domains.
