Password expiration notifier

Question

Is it possible to setup a scheduled task for password expiration notifier to send one email a day for accounts whose password will expire in less than X amount of days that have the AD attribute extensionAttribute1 set to a specific value? I'm able to set it up so it emails on every account but we will have several accounts expiring on the same day. There will be a lot of emails going at once.

Hello,

As we understand, you need a single email containing all the users that meet the criteria. In this case, it can only be done using a report. You can use the built-in report, Soon-to-expire passwords (by default located in container Reports\All Reports\Users\Passwords). For details on how to schedule reports, see https://www.adaxes.com/help/ScheduleReports. For the report to take into account the required value of extensionAttribute1, replace this line in the report script

$criteria = New-AdmCriteria "user" {(mailboxType -ne "shared") -and (changePasswordAtLogon -ne $True) -and (passwordNeverExpires -ne $True) -and (smartCardRequired -ne $True)}

with the below one

$criteria = New-AdmCriteria "user" {(extensionAttribute1 -eq "My value") -and (mailboxType -ne "shared") -and (changePasswordAtLogon -ne $True) -and (passwordNeverExpires -ne $True) -and (smartCardRequired -ne $True)}

Is it possible to put the report data into the body of an email instead of an attachment?

Hello,

Yes, it is possible. On the Document step of the scheduling wizard, select HTML. On the Delivery step, select options Send by email and Embed document into the email body.
