Vista - Domain Password Expiration Notice

Does Vista offer the the same ability as XP when a user's domain password is
about to expire? All I have noticed is the balloon popup but no pop up
window stating the password will expire in x days and asking the user if they
want to change it. I let my password expire and after my machine locked due
to inactivity I could no longer log back on without changing my password on
the DC first. XP would give you the ability to change your password if it
had expired in this manner. The laptop I am using has a fingerprint reader
and initially I had a hard time getting the Ctrl Alt Del screen to show up
since I believe the fingerprint software was overriding the Vista login
screen. COuld this be causing a problem? I am using VIsta Ultimate but I
assume this functionality would be the same as in Vista Business. Thanks.
