JSI Tip 5919. Freeware Expire.exe will expire passwords from a tab delimited file.

If you need to expire a lot of passwords, download Expire.zip. After extracting Expire.exe to a folder in you path, you can run it using the following syntax:

Expire PathToTabDelimetedFile OK_AGE

where:

PathToTabDelimetedFile is the tab delimited file that contains records in the following format:

NetBios Domain NameUser Id

-or-

ComputerNameUser Id 

NOTE: The is a TAB character.

OK_AGE If the password age is less than this parameter, the user's password is NOT expired.

NOTE: If you have a large number of passwords to expire, do it in a staggered time frame so as to mitigate the load on your network and servers.

Sample Output with one entry in the PathToTabDelimetedFile file:
