Hi,

We have two Active Directory Domains, the ROOT Domain (Domain A) and the TREE Domain (Domain B). I want to reset the krbtgt account's password in both Domains for security maintenance (not due to a breach of that account).

In which Domain should I reset the krbtgt account's password first, in the ROOT Domain or in TREE Domain?

Once password reset 1 and password reset 2 of krbtgt account is done in the first Domain, how much time should I wait before proceeding with krbtgt account's password reset in the second Domain?

Thank you in advance.
