I've checked it out, nice program but it doesn't seem to be able to write to
a text file nor is there any way to easily notify users. I'm not looking to
write code but a off the shelf solution.
I'm pretty surprised that someone hasn't written something or that Microsoft
hasn't included this option.

If you want to write a script, Windows comes with pretty decent SMTP
client COM object library called cdosys.dll that is easy to incorporate in
a script. The documentation on using it begins here:

Very nice. I got an exported this, just need to figure out how to email
this information. I guess a command line SMTP program.
Any thoughts?

For something like this I would recommend using findexpacc instead of
oldcmp, I set it up specifically to be scripted for cases like this...

My company uses a scheduled task that runs some .NET code that finds
the expiring passwords and emails the users based on our business rules
for expiration notification. This code is implemented based on the
code we show for finding password expiration on our book (see link
below). The implementation of this is detailed in ch 10, which happens
to be the freebie download chapter from the publisher. It is linked on
the main page of the site. The code samples may also be downloaded for
free.
If you don't want to write a little .NET app for this and would rather
write a script, it will probably be easier for you to use a tool like
Joe Richard's oldcmp tool (from www.joeware.net) than to try to execute
the queries directly in script, as formating the queries is a little
painful in VBS. You would just take the output from Joe's tool to feed
that into your script for doing the notifications.
You might also be able to buy something if you don't want to write
anything yourself. I can understand that, although I don't have an
immediate recommendation. Part of the trick with this kind of thing is
that you generally need to send your users to a website where they can
change their password (since they don't log into the domain, they'll
need some sort of UI for this!), so you'll need at least a little
configuration flexibility with whatever tool you end up with.
HTH,
