warnings that their password will expire...

I am going to enforce account/password policy to all domain users:

Account Policies/Password Policy
Enforce password history 5 passwords remembered
Maximum password age 120 days
Minimum password age 14 days
Minimum password length 8 characters
Enforce password complexity Enabled

When will a user be notified to change a password the first time? Is a user
notified prior to actual password expiration - does a prompt ask the user to
change the password now and that they have a certain number of days before
the password expires? How do I set that parm?

Do I have to set all users accounts to change password at next logon
manually through ADUC to force the first change immediatly?


Thanks!
