AZ-802: Administering Windows Server

By Microsoft · Question Mode

QuestionQ31

Secure Windows Server infrastructure

Overview

Your network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named contoso.com.

Existing environment

The domain contains a domain controller named DC1 and a member server named Server1.

Issue

Users cannot sign in to Server1 by using domain credentials and receive the following error message:

The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.

Requirement

You need to restore domain authentication on Server1 without removing Server1 from the domain.

Solution: On Server1, you run Reset-ComputerMachinePassword -Server DC1.

Does this meet the goal?

Explanation

Reset-ComputerMachinePassword resets the local computer's machine-account password, which reestablishes the secure channel used for domain authentication. The -Server DC1 parameter selects DC1 as the domain controller used for the reset, and the computer remains joined to the domain.
