Hi,
There are 2 way for the Notify Active Directory Users about Password Expiry
One: Email Notify Active Directory Users about Password Expiry using PowerShell
This way ,we need to deploy a script to trig the notify, more details you can refer to:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/23313.notify-active-directory-users-about-password-expiry-using-powershell.aspx

Two: Inactive logon notify
Navigate to Computer Configuration → Windows Settings → Security Settings → Local Policies → Security Options.
Select the policy named as “Interactive Logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration”.
With this policy, whenever your Windows computer connects to the domain the warning logon message - “Your password will expire in 5 days. Do you want to change it now?” will appear on the screen if your password is nearing its expiration date. Click “Yes” if you want to change it now and “No” if you want to change it at another time.

Best Regards,

This is a feature in ActivePasswords, which in itself is a really small password complexity tool for AD. It comes with a utility to auto e-mail end users, ie 7, 3, 1 day before expiry date, customizable template e-mail. Try it out. Very affordable IMHO. https://wizardsoft.nl/products/activepasswords

If you're looking for a third party tool, i've created a password reminder email notification tool that will remind users 14, 7, 3 days before expiry via a self service portal: https://infrasos.com/active-directory-password-reset-tool-self-service-portal/

Hi,

You can setup this simply using a tool called AD Web which is a self-hosted web application. You can set both before expiration and after expiration notifications with unlimited reminders. For example, 30 days, 15 days, 7 days and 1 day before. Same way you can setup 1 day after, 3 days after for expired passwords. You can have multiple AD Domains at one place and set rules to domain specific. AD Web has more interesting features for managing your Active Directory tasks. And it is much affordable, have a look.
