Creating an AD password expiration date Extension Attribute

Hey @njwinter,

Does it work when run as root on your mac?

Secondly, have you looked @ ADPassMon? Here is my fork: http://macmule.com/2014/04/01/announcing-adpassmon-v2-fork/ (that also links to the original).

That displays expiration days to the user & writes the days to a plist that you could report on via an EA.

Yes, the script runs fine as a standalone on my local machine, as mentioned above.
Unfortunately, ADPassMon is not right for our environment.

@njwinter you need the last line to be like this ```
echo "<result>$DaysRemaining</result>"
```

@jhbush1973, doh! That's what happens when your replying when on hols. The simple things get missed.

@njwinter, please add the line as per what @jhbush1973 mentioned.

If that resolves, please mark an the answer.

I figured out the <result> tag requirement just as the database corrupted so I haven't been able to test it yet. Thanks!

Not exactly what you're looking for, but I created a PowerShell script that runs nightly and dumps this info out of Active Directory directly.

It's not (currently) the cleanest code around, but basically it's pulling every user that has an email address ending in @example.com, checking the password age, figuring out how many days until the password expires based on your Active Directory policy, sends an email reminder to the user if their password is expiring in 14, 7, 3, 1, or 0 days, and sending a report to helpdesk@example.com with a list of users who's got an email notification.

I have this setup as a scheduled task on one of our Windows servers so users and the helpdesk get their alert right away in the morning.

I've also rolled out ADPassMon on the Macs.

Even with the email alert and ADPassMon alerts, users still ignore the alerts and find themselves unable to connect to the VPN when their password expires. Mildly infuriating, but that's par for the course for IT Support.

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

$maxdays=(Get-ADDefaultDomainPasswordPolicy).MaxPasswordAge.TotalDays
$summarybody="Name `t ExpireDate `t DaysToExpire `n"

(Get-ADUser -filter {(mail -like "*@example.com") -and (Enabled -eq "True") -and (PasswordNeverExpires -eq "False")} -properties *) | Sort-Object pwdLastSet |
foreach-object {

    $lastset=Get-Date([System.DateTime]::FromFileTimeUtc($_.pwdLastSet))
    $expires=$lastset.AddDays($maxdays).ToShortDateString()
    $daystoexpire=[math]::round((New-TimeSpan -Start $(Get-Date) -End $expires).TotalDays)
    $samname=$_.samaccountname
    $firstname=$_.GivenName
    if (($daystoexpire -eq 14) -or ($daystoexpire -eq 7) -or ($daystoexpire -eq 3) -or ($daystoexpire -eq 1) -or ($daystoexpire -eq 0)) {
    #if ($daystoexpire -le 14) {
        $ThereAreExpiring=$true

        $emailFrom = "helpdesk@example.com"
        $emailTo = "$samname@example.com"
        #$emailTo = "example@example.com"
        if ($daystoexpire -eq 0) {
            $subject = "$firstname, your password has expired!"
            $body = "$firstname,
Your password has expired and you must change it immediately. No further email notifications will be sent. 

Contact support at extension 9119 for assistance.

$samname@example.com"
        }
        Else {
            $subject = "$firstname, your password expires in $daystoexpire day(s)!"
            $body = "$firstname,
Your password expires in $daystoexpire day(s).

If you are using a Windows computer, press Ctrl + Alt + Del the click Change password.

If you are using a Mac computer follow the instructions at http://example.com to change your password. 

    $samname@example.com"
        }

        $smtpServer = "email.example.com"
        $smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)
        $smtp.Send($emailFrom, $emailTo, $subject, $body)   

        $summarybody += "$samname `t $expires `t $daystoexpire `n"
    }
    elseif ($daystoexpire -lt 0) {
        $ThereAreExpiring=$true
        # Add a note to the report email, but don't notify user. 
        $summarybody += "$samname `t $expires `t $daystoexpire `n"
    }
}
if ($ThereAreExpiring) {
    $emailFrom = "helpdesk@redbrickheatlh.com"
    $emailTo = "helpdesk@example.com"
    #$emailTo = "example@example.com"
    $subject = "Expiring passwords"
    $body = $summarybody
    $smtpServer = "email.example.com"
    $smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)
    $smtp.Send($emailFrom, $emailTo, $subject, $body)
}

When I use the script from @njwinter the return is 5 days off for some reason. Maybe I need to fix some of the math to account for a 90 day expiry rather than 365?

Sorry I didn't read this article before I posted a new thread. I added a script here for accomplishing the same thing, only using LDAP, which most people are already using in order to assign assets to end users under the Users & Location pane in JSS. This way we can create an extension attribute even if the organization chooses not to bind computers to AD. Here it is so you don't have to jump threads:

# Brief Description: Scrapes JSS for username assigned to asset, then does AD LDAP lookup to determine AD 
################################################
# Set up your organization's variables
# For JSS:

jss_server=     # Full URL for logging into your JSS instance, quoted b/c of the characters; i.e. 'https://jss.yourorg.com:8443'
rest_account=   # An account on your jss server with limited privs set up to scrape user info from the site
rest_password=  # Password for the rest_account user above

# For AD/LDAP:
ldap_server=    # IP address of a dc within your org that allows directory lookups
ldap_account=   # AD account with limited privs, used to query the active directory server using ldapsearch
ldap_password=  # Password for the ldap_account user above
forest_domain=  # i.e. forest.yourorg.com
dist_name=  # The distinguished name of your domain and forest in AD, quoted b/c of the characters; i.e. 'dc=forest,dc=yourorg,dc=com'
pwdPolicy=  # Days to password expiration since last set i.e.: 90
