Password Expiration Notifier

Password Expiration Notifier is a handy little tool that helps you manage password expirations in your organization. If you've ever faced issues with passwords not being updated on time, you're not alone! This happens all the time and can lead to a ton of IT support calls, lost productivity, and even disruptions in critical services.

Why Password Notifications Matter

So here’s the deal: Windows usually gives users a heads up about their password expiring when they log in. But what if your team only uses Active Directory (AD) accounts for things like VPN or Outlook Web Access (OWA)? In those cases, they might never get that notification because they don’t log in interactively. That’s where Password Expiration Notifier steps in!

How It Works

This application regularly checks all users within a specified Active Directory domain or Organizational Unit (OU). It looks for accounts whose passwords are about to expire soon and sends out customizable emails to those users. Plus, it sends summary reports directly to system admins, making it super easy to keep track of everything.

Plan & Test Feature

The tool also has this cool feature called "Plan & Test." This lets you see how many users will be impacted by any planned changes to the password policy without actually messing with user settings or changing anything in AD. It’s like getting a sneak peek!

Part of the Netwrix Auditor Suite

NOTE: The Password Expiration Notifier is included in the Netwrix Auditor Freeware Edition suite. So you can install it as a standalone tool or as part of this larger package.

If you're looking for an effective way to keep track of password expirations and avoid those pesky support tickets, check out Password Expiration Notifier. It's definitely worth considering!
