Domain Password Expiration - Not Being Detected

I am running Vista Build 6000 from MSDN and my Windows domain user account is
set to expire in less than six days if I do not change my password. When I
login to XP or 2000/2003 systems, I am given the "You have six days to
change..." popup, but I have yet to get a prompt or notification from within
Vista after multiple reboots and logins. Did this feature get removed? I
am going to test out what happens by allowing my account to expire. I
suspect I may get a prompt when my password is truly expired, but in an odd
sort of way I miss being nagged. -=R=-

Hello Ryan,
I get prompted/nagged to change my password on Windows Vista when I hit the
expiration warning timeframes, so the feature still exists.

Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Well, I now see that there is a balloon notice when I first login after
rebooting that notifies me about the password change, but it does not require
your attention. The problem I have is that the users who will be switching
to Vista this year may not see these balloons and I will be forced to
continually assist them when their accounts get locked out. Is there a
group policy setting that can force a more blatant password change prompt?
