What you will see in a netlogon debug log (on client and DC) during a successful secure channel password reset

  • Article

Here are the details you will see in the netlogon debug log on the client and the DC for a SUCCESSFUL secure channel reset:

Note: Running "netdom reset <client> /domain:<domain> /server:<DCname> /usero:<domain>\administrator /passwordo:*" instead of ntltest renders the exact same debug information - basically the same action is being taken.

<domain.com> = FQDN

<DOMAIN> = netbios domain name

<CLIENT> = netbios name of client

<IP of DC> = IP of the DC

<DCname> = DC's netbios name
