We are finally getting smart about security. We want to implement password
expiration. The problem is that we have a significant field user base that
uses Outlook running RPC over HTTP to access Exchange. I need to find out if
I set these users to have their passwords expire, how do they get prompted to
change the password or do they even get prompted? I have been looking for
info but haven't found anything on this YET. Any help would be appreciated.

I would say set it up in the lab and try it. I haven't seen any docs on it but
based on my limited understanding of how RPC->HTTP is working I don't visualize
a way it could work. The DCs couldn't be contacted that way and I do not believe
the Exchange servers will "proxy" that request across but possibly they will.

I would expect the best way would be to set up something that emails warnings a
few days in advance and offer a web page for users to go to to change the
passwords.
