RE: How to obtain password expiration date

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Lardy,

Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.

As I know, SBS has its specific OU, please try to change the script to
reflect to the SBS specific OU structure to see if it helps. For example,
change "/CN=John Doe,CN=Users,DC=YOURDOMAIN,DC=COM" to "/CN=John
Doe,OU=SBSUsers,OU=Users,OU=MyBusiness,DC=YOURDOMAIN,DC=LOCAL".

If this still does not work, you may need to post it in the MSDN newsgroup.

Thanks for your understanding and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Crina Li (MSFT)

| Hi All,
|
| Windows SBS 2003 Server Standard Edition
|
| Is there a way to find when a users password is due to expire and when it
| was last changed?
|
| I hunted around the net and found the script below from
| http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;323750.
| It gives me an error for line 27 character 5, which I assume is "Set
oUser =
| GetObject("LDAP://"; & strUserDN)". I have tested it on a Windows 2003
| Server SP1 and it worked like a charm. What changes would need to be
made
| for it to work on Windows SBS 2003 Server?
|
| Lardy.

| '========================================
| ' First, get the domain policy.
| '========================================
| Dim oDomain
| Dim oUser
| Dim maxPwdAge
| Dim numDays
|
| strDomainDN = "YOURDOMAIN"
| strUserDN = strDomainDN & "/CN=John Doe,CN=Users,DC=YOURDOMAIN,DC=COM"
|
| Set oDomain = GetObject("LDAP://"; & strDomainDN)
| Set maxPwdAge = oDomain.Get("maxPwdAge")
|
| '========================================
| ' Calculate the number of days that are

| numDays = CCur((maxPwdAge.HighPart * 2 ^ 32) + _
| maxPwdAge.LowPart) / CCur(-864000000000)
| WScript.Echo "Maximum Password Age: " & numDays
|
| '========================================
| ' Determine the last time that the user
| ' changed his or her password.
| '========================================
| Set oUser = GetObject("LDAP://"; & strUserDN)
|
| '========================================
| ' Add the number of days to the last time
| ' the password was set.
| '========================================
| whenPasswordExpires = DateAdd("d", numDays, oUser.PasswordLastChanged)
|
| WScript.Echo "Password Last Changed: " & oUser.PasswordLastChanged
| WScript.Echo "Password Expires On: " & whenPasswordExpires
|
| '========================================
| ' Clean up.
| '========================================
| Set oUser = Nothing
| Set maxPwdAge = Nothing
| Set oDomain = Nothing
