D'oh! I guess that was one of the enhancements with the Server 2003 admin
tools. :-)

As far as what you are wanting, I think I found something that may help.
There is a property field for objects called accountexpires. The problem is
that if you try and export that with ldifde or csvde, the field is stored as
an Integer8 syntax, which will come out as a very large number. Still, you
can export that field using the following syntax using LDIFDE.

ldifde -f filename -r
(&(objectclass=user)(!accountexpires=0)(!accountexpires=9223372036854775807)
)"

This should return an ldif file that only contains accounts which are
expired. The reason the second field is that apparently in AD, non-expired
accounts will either have a value of 0, or a very large value that does not
correspond to a valid date. Anyways, after you do the export, the
folllowing link may be able to help you convert the integer8 data to a
readable date format. It looks like it even may do a query for you instead
of needing to use Ldifde or csvde. I'm not great with scripting, so I
haven't played with this at all.

Hope this helps.
