Hi.

I have the problem that my domain admin password changes randomly.
There is nothing to see in the logs. (logging raised allready)... there is
an other thread for this.

What would be very helpfull would be a script that checks if the
authentication to the domain with a certain account and password works and
pipes the result into a text file. Check should be every 30 secs or so.

Can someone give me a hint where to start (a function name or so) or even a
working script ;-)?

Thanks
Robert

It almost sounds as if someone is already running this script against your
domain admin account! Rather than play at writing a sleuthing script, I
would recommend an audit of the administrative permissions in your domain.

Did this allready. I can exlude nealy everything.
I want the script to be able to find a time scheme for the changes.
I already have the script.
