TIP: How to disable Netlogon from pushing password changes to the PDC |
|
|
As discussed in the article INFO: FSMO (Flexible Single-Master Operation) Roles, the default behaviour of a Domain Controller's Netlogon process pushing newly changed passwords to the PDC can be disabled.
The following registry value is used to configure this behaviour:
AvoidPdcOnWan
This value is located under the following registry key.
HKLM\ System\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\ Netlogon\ Parameters\ AvoidPdcOnWan [REG_DWORD]
A value of one (1) set's this option (disable) to true; a value of zero (0) disables this option (enables the push).
If the key does not exist you will need to create it. To do this, right-click in the empty space in the right-hand pane (REGEDIT) and choose New\ DWord Value. Enter the name AvoidPdcOnWan as the value, and zero (0) as the data.
