One time email x days after Account Expired

Question

I want to send out an email one time 60 days after an account expires. I was trying to set this up using the scheduled task, but it requires me to pick a schedule before I enter the conditions. So, if I select One time, it requires me to pick a date.

Is there any other to do this?

Hello,

You can do this with a single Scheduled Task that runs each day. You can create a Scheduled Task that will check all accounts in your AD and will send e-mail notifications for those users, whose accounts expired 60 days ago. To create such a Task:

1. Create a new Scheduled Task.

2. On the 2nd step of the Create Scheduled Task wizard, select Daily and specify the time when the Task will run.
   

3. On the 3rd step, select the User object type.
   

4. On the 4th step, add the Send e-mail notification action and customize the notification settings in the lower part of the dialog.
   

5. Click OK.

6. Now, you need to add a condition when the notification will be sent. Double-click Always.

7. To check whether a user's account expired 60 days ago, you will need to use a PowerShell script. Select the If PowerShell script returns True condition type.

8. Paste the following script in the Script field.
   

    $Context.ConditionIsMet = $False
   
    $targetDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-60).Date # 60 days prior to the current date
    $expirationDate = $Context.TargetObject.AccountExpirationDate.Date
   
    if ($targetDate -eq $expirationDate)
    {
        $Context.ConditionIsMet = $True
    }
   

9. Add a short description for the script and click OK.

10. Finish creation of the Scheduled Task.
