we have quite a few mobile workers who all have XP laptops on our domain.
none of them seem to get reminders anymore about when their password is due
to expire. this seems to work for users on the LAN. it seems to dont get
the reminders when they are not on the LAN / VPN

any ideas of how to get this working?

thanks

Nigel

It can be done but by a VBs script or by another third-party software than
can manage the password for those Romaing users!
GPO to VPN users their pwd will expire?

Hi Nigel-
This issue is quite common so don't feel like you are alone with this.
You'll also find that LAN users who simply lock / unlock their
workstations don't receive the UI reminder either, at least not
reliably.
Laptop users typically put their laptops in sleep mode and seldom log
off / on, and run with a set of cached credentials. Again, no UI
prompt.

Try Password Reminder PRO- It is designed to resolve this problem
completely and is very easy to install. You can even test it from a
domain workstation in "test mode" to see how it works without
disturbing users.
