I need to expire all the new and manually reset passwords in a server. When a new user logs into the server the first time it should force him to change the password. My first guess is that I have to use the command chage -d 0

After creating user you may use
[root@localhost~]# chage -d 0 username
to force a user to change their password at next logon on a Linux.
If you want to automatically do that every time just after new user add. For that you edit the configuration file which locate at
[root@localhost] # vi /etc/default/useradd
Search Expire and Make it
Expire=0
