Email group when an account's password is expiring

Question

For service accounts or accounts where multiple people need to know the password is expiring, is there a way to use the password expiration task to notify the members of an active directory group, or is using a distribution group the only way to do this? I can get the email group members to work and the password notification to work, just having problems connecting the two.

Hello,

The thing is that Adaxes only sends a request to the SMTP server to deliver an email. As such, you can only specify a recipient email address in Adaxes. the rest is handled by the SMTP server, AD, Exchange, etc. As such, you have two options to send the email for users who meet the conditions:

• Specify an email address of a distribution group in the To field of the Send email notification action. In this case, each member of the group should receive the notification.
• Use a PowerShell script instead of the Send email notification action. The script will gather emails of the predefined group members and send the email directly to them. To send emails in scripts, you can use method $Context.SendMail.
