Following PowerShell Module provides different approach to scheduling password notifications for expiring Active Directory based accounts. While most of the scripts require knowledge on HTML... this one is just one config file and a bit of tingling around with texts. Whether this is good or bad it's up to you to decide. I do plan to add an option to use external HTML template if there will be requests for that.

- 1.6.4 - 2020.02.17
- Fixes to manager sent emails
- Fixes to sending emails in some edge cases
- More reports

- 1.6.1 - 2019.11.16
- Some stuff was rewritten for faster processing
- Package is now published without any dependencies
- PSSharedGoods\PSWriteColor and other modules are used only as part of development
- You can remove those modules if you don't use their other features as those needed functions are bundled in.
- LimitScope added to Managers. It's possible now to send notifications to managers of users that are in a given group(s) only.
- `<>` was added in earlier version as part of Template
- EmailUseDefaultCredentials now available (couldn't get Emails to work on one of the servers). By default set to False, but can be set to True if you have issues to send email
- Targets whole Forest, rather than just Domain. May add a feature to limit to only domain later on.

- 1.1 - 2019.10.19
- New feature:
- SendCountMaximum added - good for limiting test emails
- DisableExpiredUsers section added
- 1.0 - 2019.05.22
- New feature:
- Adds UseAdditionalField (for example 'extensionAttribute13') - the way it works now is that if you define additional attribute it takes precedence in sending emails.
To understand it, imagine yourself a situation where two users exists - [email protected] and [email protected].
One with mailbox, the other oen without or even with mailbox.
You can put email in extensionAttribute13 [email protected] which will cause an overwrite of default email for [email protected] which will allow sending notifications that otherwise wouldn't reach user or would be lost.
This also works great for scenarios with Azure AD where having 2 emails with same address is not possible.
