Why is a KRBTGT password reset necessary?
KRBTGT – As the service account for the Key Distribution Center (KDC) service, the KRBTGT account serves as a domain default account. It is not possible to disable this account in Active Directory, modify the account name, or remove it.
On advice from the Microsoft DART team/Microsoft Compromise Recovery Team and after making sure all back doors are closed, KRBTGT resets are often carried out during compromise recovery situations of Active Directory.
Resetting the KRBTGT is only one component of a recovery plan, and doing so by itself is unlikely to stop an attacker who has already been successful from gaining unauthorised access to a compromised system in the future. Customers are strongly encouraged to develop a thorough recovery strategy utilising the recommendations provided in the white paper titled Mitigating Pass the Hash Attacks and Other Credential Theft.
Based on advice from third party auditors, certain firms may additionally reset the KRBTGT password.
