Re: Mobile Phone only email accounts
I believe there are some apps out there that will send out an SMS notifying them of password expiration and allowing them to change password via SMS. If not I'm sure u could cobble something together relatively quickly with powershell etc. Sent on the run!

Is there such a version? Currently we came up with this plan but I am sure there are better ideas out there: Send out an email with a temporary password and instructions for changing password, to be used the next day. Overnight, manually reset each user’s password to standard issue password Next day, user will have to open yesterday’s email and click on a link to take them into a page where they can reset their password. (They will have to create a new password at this point, and remember it.) They will then have to open their Android email application, go to Settings, and enter their new password. In six months, send them an automated email prompting them to reset their password. User will have to remember their expiring password (which they haven’t used in six months) before they can enter a new password. Thoughts?

RE: Mobile Phone only email accounts
You can modify something like this pretty easily to do what you want (for sending email): http://theessentialexchange.com/blogs/michael/archive/2012/01/17/sending-an-email-to-users-whose-password-is-about-to-expire-a-powershell-rewrite.aspx From: Alice Goodman [mailto:ali...@mckinstry.com] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2012 8:15 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Mobile Phone only email accounts We have some service techs who only use their email on smart phones.
