Fail
Const HOSTING_OU = "OU=Users,OU=Main,dc=myinternaldomain,dc=org"
I've tried variations too, like just "OU=Users, OU=Main"
Looks like it's failing on this line:
Set objRoot = GetObject ("LDAP://RootDSE")
strDomainDN = objRoot.Get ("defaultNamingContext")
Going back to just "main" (not OU=Main, just 'main') always works but it's too
broad for my needs.

You have to do it in LDAP format, not x500 format.
OU=Users,OU=Main etc.etc.

Thanks! I tried to specify a 2nd level OU and it didn't work
This works:
Const HOSTING_OU = "Main"
This doesn't:
Const HOSTING_OU = "Main\Users"

So it doesn't need to run on an Exchange server, just a box with CDO?

You need CDO installed on the computer where you run the script.

You can script password expiration notices to your users, or provide them with
alternate solutions:

How do you guys handle VPN users not getting a "password will expire in xx
days", or have any of you seen this behavior? Someone on Expert's Exchange
describes our issue perfectly: "I have remote user's running Windows XP Home
and they use VPN to connect to my Win2000 Server running Small Business Server
2000. When they connect they enter their username/password. All of this works
just fine. The problem I'm having is that they don't get notified that their
password is going to expire until it is expired. They can change it at that
time, but I want them to get the warning. "
Which took me here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/221977
We have Exchange 2007 and I'm wondering if this still applies.
