We have W2K Domain Controller/Active Directory. Users used to be prompted to change password before expiration date. Now users are no longer being promoted to change their passwords. I checked the setting (prompt user to change password before expiration). It is set to 5 days at the domain level. I have also turned on "no override" switch under options. Users still not prompted to change their passwords. Is there any other setting, I have to set in order for users to be warned that their passwords about to expire? Users passwords will expires in few days. Please any suggestion, Please help
