I realize it's not wmic but wouldn't it be just as simple to use something
like

net user username /dom | find "Password expires"

Maybe you need wmic for a specific reason I don't know... I believe as long
as you are logging in as a user within that domain it should pull the
information without issue. I can think of a dozen other ways depending on
what the end result you are looking for is.

i've used VBscript to do it. If you're interested, Ill dig it out. it
was run against the domain controller if I remember correctly.

Bah.  This doesn't work... you have to enter the actual user's
password.

Sorry for the bum advice!

If you're an admin, you should be able to force the wmic check to
happen in the scope of another user.

wmic /user:"domain\user" netlogin get passwordexpires
(note you'll likely need to keep the quotes in the line above. wmic
is
very picky about global flag values.)

I believe this will work... But I'm not VPNed into my lab at work
right now to test and see.  Please let us know if this works as you
wanted it to.

My answers might be wrong, but they're FAST!   ;-)

Hey all you WMIC gurus out there.  I'm trying to find a
straightforward
means of identifying when a domain user's password will expire.
Is there a
modifier or switch I can set to bring back password expiry for
another
domain user?

I know I can use:

Wmic netlogin get passwordexpires

to find when my password expires, can this be done for another
domain user?
Assume I have admin privileges.

Oh, and just so that we're clear here, this is for the domain we
use at
work, I am doing this on behalf of a user I support.

Thanks,

Ken
