What is the best way to set a Windows 2008 Domain User's Password to expire every 30 days?

We would like to implement a password expiration policy on our Windows 2008 domain for a user's account password to expire every 30 days. What is the best way to implement this policy so that the user receives a message before expiration?

Thanks

In your Group Policy for the domain - or the OU that holds the computers in question

Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Account Policies/Password Policy/Maximum Password Age set to 30 (Complexity Requirements must be Enabled for this to take effect).

I want to be able to do this in the for a specific Group Policy object. When I right-click on the policy within Policy Management and click Edit, the Group Policy Management Editor opens, however the path you mentioned above does not exist. Attached is a screen capture of what I have.

I want this to take affect for all users associated with this Group Policy. We will have other users in different group policy groups that will have separate requirements, etc...

Thanks.
