password expiration and user account lockout / disable automation
I'm a newbie ah-hoc sysadmin who was cornered into doing some of this work and am a bit overwhelmed.
I have a 90 day expiration set for passwords. How can I do the following?
1) send emails to users at the password expiration warning time?
2) send an email when their password expires
3) lock / disable an account if the password expires
4) send an email to the user and myself when an account is disabled due to pw expiration
thanks for the help.
