Active directory - password about to expire

Hi AD experts,

When I log into my computer in the office and get a messaging saying "password is about to expire, would you like to change it now" is that controlled on the AD server? Our AD servers are windows 2008.

Is there also a place within AD to say how many days in advance before sending the notifications?
