Hello All,

This post is regarding what happens when you reset KRBTGT account password once?

What happens when you reset KRBTGT account password once?

• The new KRBTGT password is replicated to all of the DCs in the domain after the initial reset.
• The new password will be used for all new Tickets (KRB1).
• Old tickets generated using the outdated KRBTGT password (KRBOLD) should still function because the password history is 2.
• Once the previous tickets have expired, they should purchase new ones using the KRBTGT password (KRB1).
• KRB1 and KRBOLD are the current KRBTGT passwords.

How to reset the krbtgt password

1. Click Start, point to Control Panel, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.

2. Click View, and then click Advanced Features.

1. In the console tree, double-click the domain container, and then click Users.

2. In the details pane, right-click the krbtgt user account, and then click Reset Password.

3. Enter a new password in the box labelled “New password,” input it again in the box labelled “Confirm password,” and then click OK. The password you choose is unimportant since the system will automatically generate a secure password regardless of the password you choose.

So, that’s all in this blog. I will meet you soon with next stuff .Have a nice day !!!
