Resetting machine account password

Is resetting the secure channel on a domain member machine the same thing as
resetting the secure channel?

Using the <Netdom resetpwd> command, one can reset the password on a domain
controller (which I believe will trigger replication to the other DCs).

The <Netdom resetpwd> command is specific to DCs, per the tools description
(via <Netdom resetpwd /?>.

However, there is the <Netdom reset> command which is used to reset the
secure channel between a member machine and a specified DC - is the "secure
channel" reset actually just resetting the local machine's password in AD?

Re: Resetting machine account password

Check out nltest, I think that is what you are looking for.

If you want to check to see if the secure channel between a machine and the
domain is
working properly.

If you don't have the support tools installed, install them from your server
install disk.
d:\support\tools\setup.exe

nltest /sc_verify:YourDomainName

This should verify and if broken reset the trust between the client and the
domain.

/sc_reset

Re: Resetting machine account password

Paul,

Thanks, but I am trying to learn if resetting the secure channel is the same
thing as resetting the machine password. BTW, <netdom verify machinename>
will also verify the secure channel and indicate with which DC the channel
exists.

Re: Resetting machine account password

Yes it is more or less the same. To establish a secure channel the machine
has to logon to the domain.
