AD Password Notification
Active Directory Password Expiration Notification
Email your users before their password expires. The tool checks Active Directory on a schedule, finds the accounts about to expire, and sends the reminder for you.
Free, with no send limits and no trial clock.
What the tool does
Everything below is free with no daily limits, apart from the last two, which need a license.
Email notifications
Automatically email users before their password expires, with the days remaining and the expiration date.
Password expiration dates
Pull every user's password expiration date straight from Active Directory, with no scripting.
Customize the message
Write your own subject and body, and drop in dynamic fields like name, expiration date and days left.
Runs on a schedule
Set the notification window and let it run in the background as a scheduled task. Set it once and forget it.
Expiration dashboard
See which passwords expire in 7, 14 or 30 days, which have already expired, and which never expire.
Notification logs
Every sent notification is logged and searchable, so you can prove a user was told before they call.
Second email notification
Licensed. Send a follow-up reminder at a second interval, for example 14 days out and again at three.
HTML emails with your logo
Licensed. Branded, formatted messages instead of plain text.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The tool sends unlimited notifications at no cost, with no daily limit and no trial period. Only the second email notification and HTML emails with your logo need a license.
What do I get if I pay?
Two things: a second email notification so you can remind users at two different intervals, and HTML emails with your company logo instead of plain text. A license also includes updates and support for 12 months.
Do I need to install it on a domain controller?
No. Install it on any workstation or server on the domain. It reads Active Directory using your existing credentials.
What mail server does it work with?
Any SMTP server, including Microsoft 365 and on-premises Exchange. You supply the SMTP host, port and credentials during setup.
Can I control when users are notified?
Yes. Set the notification window, for example 14 days before expiration. With a license you can add a second reminder closer to the date.
Will it tell me which accounts never expire?
Yes. The dashboard flags accounts with passwords set to never expire, along with your domain password policy.
