Timeout period expired error, but password still reset

[DiPersiaTech]

I'm running v2.8 of the kerberos password reset script. I run this for a handful of clients and haven't found a pattern to this error, though I believe it always errors on the same customer environments. Can be a 2008R2 (I know) domain, all the way up through a 2016 domain, and can have one or multiple DCs in the domain.

Exact error is below and am happy to provide additional output if helpful. I've looked through the script, but no ideas. Password shows as having been successfully updated despite this error. Just takes a good two minutes to time out.

I experienced exactly this while running mode 6 in a production environment - the timeout occurs but after around 2 minutes the script continues and performs the reset as normal then passed all checks.

Yeh, ran the script this week on a dozen or so environments. On probably 80% of them, this behavior prevailed. No pattern I can find. Looked through the code and nothing jumping out at me.

Hi, I'm writing a new version of the script. It has lots of changes. Wanna give it a try? Please let me know and I'll send you a copy

[DiPersiaTech]

Sure, send it over. What's the best way to touch base directly?

please mail me using the mail address in the script
