Why does the domain controller change its own "whenchanged" attribute ?
Are these changed periodically by the domain controller itself ?
What are the causes changes in the attribute ?
Recently one of our AD LDAP connected applications stopped authenticating users .While they asked if there was any change done at the DC ,WE said No change ..but then they came out with a LDAP screen shot shows the Domain controller had some changes ..they showed the "whenchanged" attribute of the domain controller which coincided with LDAP authentication issue which they faced on their Application
Can I know the domain controller by itself changes this value ..does installation of patch change this attribute?
