Use this .

First parameter domain path (e.g. LDAP://Domain)
second parameter userPath (e.g. LDAP://Domain/CN=<username> ...)

public DateTime GetDomainPasswordExpiration(string domainPath, string
userPath)
{
DirectoryEntry domain = new DirectoryEntry(domainPath);
DirectoryEntry user = new DirectoryEntry(userPath);

LargeInteger pwdLastSet =
(LargeInteger)user.Properties["pwdLastSet"].Value;
LargeInteger maxPwdAge =
(LargeInteger)domain.Properties["maxPwdAge"].Value;

long daysL = (((long)maxPwdAge.HighPart<<32) + maxPwdAge.LowPart);
long dt = (((long)(pwdLastSet.HighPart) << 32) + (long)
pwdLastSet.LowPart) - daysL;
return DateTime.FromFileTime(dt);
}


You have to make a reference to "ActiveDS Type Library" (COM)
