Password Expiration and Change Password

i think this should be simple to accomplish. I just want my Windows Forms Application running within a domain to be able to check the current user's password expiration and offer them the opportunity...

Hi Lee,

It can be done with System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal class.

Cheers

That is what I am using..
Dim adUser As UserPrincipal = UserPrincipal.Current
adUser.SetPassword(sPWd)

  I haven't tried to set password with UserPrincipal, but I suspect that non-admin users might only have access to use ChangePassword.
  
  Perhaps, it would be easier to look up the value of AccountExpirationDate property and if it's close to current date, you would prompt a user to change the password in Windows.
