Please log in for more thread options Hi
Is there a way to increase their end time to 24 hrs instead of the default
10 hours?
I have tried setting this in the Domain Security Policy for Kerberos Policy
( Max lifetime for service and user ticket), but the clients (Windows XP
SP2) shows that the lifetime is 10 hours. (used kerbtray and klist to get
this)
Windows 2003 servers.
Is there an article that gives what the valid range of time that can be set
for the kerberos tickets instead of the defaults.?
Thanks
