Changing once, waiting for replication to complete and changing again reduces the risk of issues.
Ticket master password reset password#
If the krbtgt account is compromised, attackers can create valid Kerberos Ticket Granting Tickets (TGT).It attempts to decrypt with the current password and if that fails, it attempts again with the previous one (assuming it has it).So the password must be changed twice to effectively remove the password history. Furthermore, despite the Active Directory domain policy for Kerberos ticket lifetime, the KDC trusts the TGT, so the custom ticket can include a custom ticket lifetime. This means that anyone can create a valid Kerberos TGT if they have the KRBTGT password hash. The Kerberos TGT is encrypted and signed by the KRBTGT account.

Is it mean we need to wait after 10 hour before proceed the second reset? I'm a bit confuse about this because most article mention, we just need to ensure replication completed to all DC (for first Reset) then proceed second reset.Ģ.For another method, can i do first reset example by today, and second reset on next day to ensure first reset successfully replicated to all DC? Any issue on that approach? I have plan to do manual reset (without using script) and make it on different day for first and second reset.ģ.What actually will happen to end user if this process went wrong? Example if i reset second password without waiting first password being complete replicate to all DC. Kerberos maximum lifetime for user ticket (TGT lifetime): 10 hours. From the script i also found another info: But unsure whether it safe or not for production. May i know what of this error? Is it safe enough to proceed for second reset if this error appear? Based on my test environment, im just proceed it and dont see any issue. But i have noticed some error:Ĭhecking if all tickets based on the previous (N-1) krbtgt key have expired.failed Then after 30 minute later, i continue for second time reset.

I have test the script provided by Microsoft and successfully reset the password for first time.

I'm really appreciate if someone can help. I have found few article about this, but i'm still wondering few thing about the process.
