Here's a script that runs on my DC and uses Task Scheduler to run once a week. It attaches a couple of documents about how to change a password and how to choose a good password.

#This script was written a while back using quest's #AD commandlets those can be 
# downloaded from here:  
#[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.quest.com/powershell/activeroles-server.aspx[/URL] 
#This script will find any AD account in an OU  
#with less than 15 days on its password  
#and send an email to the user 

Add-PSSnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement

$tod = get-date 
$cutoff = 16
#Remove the -ou parameter from the command 
#below to get all users in AD 
Get-QADUser -ou 'OU=USERS, DC=domain,DC=local' -enabled -size 0 | where {($_.PasswordNeverExpires -eq $False)} | Foreach-Object { 
    $timeleft = ($_.passwordexpires - $tod).Days  
    $Firstname=$_.givenname 
    $lastname=$_.lastname
    $logonname=$_.SamAccountName
    if ($timeleft -lt $cutoff) { 
        if ($timeleft -lt 1) {$timeleft=0}         
        $body = @" 
Dear $firstname $lastname ($logonname),
