Although we are not setting user accounts to auth to AD, we are

I don't think there is an agreed upon solution to fix this issue;  I
looked at the list, and couldn't find it.

This has been driving me nuts as part of an OD auditing project I've been playing with. I've resorted to learning how to talk to the PWS directly with no luck.


The only visible indication I can find is the date/time stamp on the user's PWS slot. Unfortunately this serves two purposes to show when the password was changed, and when the last login was. So you can't use it to determine password age.

Obviously this last change stamp is kept somewhere so that the PWS can look at the max minutes policy and determine when to expire the password. Where, I have no idea.
