Free password expiration notifier tool for unlimited Active Directory users

What are some challenges caused by expired Active Directory passwords?

Changing Active Directory (AD) passwords periodically can ensure good password hygiene, as it prevents hackers from gaining access to network resources, even if they have stolen user credentials. Configuring password expiration to a set number of days, say 90, is a common practice among IT admins. However, users tend to forget to change their soon-to-expire passwords and raise password reset tickets once they've expired.

This might happen because some users have AD accounts only for VPN or OWA, and so they don't log on interactively to see Windows notifications. Others might not notice the password expiration notification in their Windows taskbar, or might use macOS or Linux workstations, so they don't receive AD password expiration notifications.

Notify users before their password expires, for free!

ManageEngine's free Password Expiration Notifier enables you to automatically send password expiration email or SMS notifications to users, reminding them about their upcoming AD password change. You can also notify users about their account status along with their password expiration details.

Because users often don't respond to a one-time password change alert, you can send multiple notifications at specified intervals. For instance, IT admins can send a password expiration alert ten days before the password expires, and then send a second reminder eight days before expiration, a third at five days, a fourth at three days, and a fifth and final reminder the day before the password expires.
