Its difficult to determine what your after, are you looking to retrieve a list of users who's passwords will be expiring, or do you want to find out what a users password was 2-3 months ago? – Sam Jun 2 '09 at 12:10

I'm not exactly sure I understand what you're asking for. But take a look at dsquery.exe, which can retrieve many interesting things from an Active Directory.

The ActiveDirectory extension to PowerShell GUI will also provide an extensive list of fields when exporting to CSV a list of AD users including password expiration
