Hi,

I have many different servers and wondering how can I test their connection to DC? I want to make sure there is no problem related to DC.

Is there a command that can give a brief report whic ensure communication with AD is ok?

    Hi,

    Thanks for posting here!

    Following command for your reference:

    Nltest can test and reset the secure channel that the NetLogon service establishes between clients and the domain controller that logs them on. Clients using Kerberos authentication cannot use this secure channel.

    Run command on the clients:
    nltest /sc_query:domain.com
    This output shows the status of your secure channel, and the name of the domain controller you are querying
    Nltest /dsgetdc:domain name This command Queries the Domain Name System (DNS) server for a list of domain controllers and their corresponding IP addresses.

    Powershell command :
    Test-ComputerSecureChannel
    This command verifies that the channel between the local computer and its domain is working correctly by checking the status of its trust relationships.
