We are using on-premises Active Directory Domain Services authentication over SMB for Azure file shares and part of that is to generate kerberos key for the storage account which is computer account's passwords.

Our policy is to rotate kerb keys every 180 days but for knowledgeable portal do not show those kerb keys, support rotating or reminders. What would be best ways to monitor and maybe alert if kerb getting closer of rotate time?

    @Wool Sock The best way to manage Kerberos Keys generated via Key Vault would be to use Azure Event Grid.

    Please refer this document for more details- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/general/event-grid-overview

    "Key Vault integration with Event Grid allows users to be notified when the status of a secret stored in key vault has changed. A status change is defined as a secret that is about to expire (30 days before expiration), a secret that has expired, or a secret that has a new version available. Notifications for all three secret types (key, certificate, and secret) are supported."

    Does this help? Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you!
