Our TAM has been beating using nltest instead of "set l" into our heads for almost two years now. The set command echoes a variable that is set at startup and doesn't change when your authenticating server changes.
The only problem with using nltest with the /sc_query option is that it also checks a cached value. If you truly want to determine which DC is currently authenticating a PC, you should use the /sc_reset option of nltest. This will reset the secure channel between the workstation and the DC and report the status of the secure channel. -Andrew -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Murray Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 4:09 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DC authentication Hi Christine This will show you the secure channel for given machine: nltest /sc_query:<domain> /server:<server_name> Tony -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christine Allen Sent: Thursday, 1 September 2005 8:58 a.m. To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] DC authentication Sorry, I'm have a brain hiccup.
