Impact of Authoritative Restore on
Trusts and Computer Accounts
Ø Trust relationships and computer account passwords are
negotiated at a specified interval (every seven days by
default, except for computer accounts that can be disabled
by the administrator).
Ø During an Authoritative Restore, a previously used
password for the objects in the Active Directory that
maintain trust relationships and computer accounts can be
restored.
Ø Trust Relationships - this may void communication with other domain
controllers from other domains.
Ø Computer Account Password - this may void communications between
the member workstation or server and a domain controller of its domain.
