This article was previously published under Q247008



SYMPTOMS
After you run the DCPromo utility to install the Active Directory on a domain controller running Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, the KRBTGT user account is disabled by default. When you try to enable it in the Active Directory Users and Computers Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, you cannot do so.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the KRBTGT user account is only for Kerberos authentication.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
