windows server 2008 may have prompted for a password change
godaddy rdp windows server 2008 dedicated
does windows server ever send notices to change password
background: I was working on a project for many years but client replaced me with unskilled worker at much lower payrate who would also wear many hats and take on all the roles.
Months later worker stated that windows server password 'send notice of password reset' and my login password was changed.
I have worked on this server for years and I have never been prompted for a password change. What does a password change look like (if password change exists).
I can log on (with new password). Is this something I could see in a log. Windows prompts user to change password.

So the question is then what was it? It was not the normal windows logon password change so what was it?Maybe the other worker did a normal password change.

The only way to check it is to sweep the security event logs on the domain controllers, preferably the PDC emulator (but check them all to be sure).
You'll want to check for these events in the Security logs:
627 - user changes their own password
628 - Admin changes the user password
4723 - user changes their own password
4724 - admin changes the user password
How can I get to this screen?
