I wanna make a really quick post here about this. Normally I generally right click a app on the taskbar, and then shift+right click the app icon, and in the context menu pick “run as a different user”. then I get a credentials box prompt asking me to enter the creds of the user and their password, and if successful open the app (generally cmd).<\/p>\n

This time I was testing some old credentials used for a particular service, but I wasn’t sure of the password, I also wasn’t sure exactly where this account was all used, so was hesitant to just go and change the accounts password.<\/p>\n

I did my usual trick as stated above and got the user was not allowed local logon for this machine, which was a good thing, some standard best practices for the account were implemented. This however still left me with the assumption the user\/password was correct, but not 100% sure.<\/p>\n

attempting the same thing with a random known bad password sure enough responded with wrong username\/password. Giving me pretty confident results the username and password I entered were correct.<\/p>\n

I found this serverfault post about the same question<\/a>, and I attempted the simple “net use” trick. Sure enough they also do the run as trick I stated in the first paragraph.<\/p>\n

net use \\\\%userdnsdomain% \/user:%userdomain%\\%username% *<\/pre>\n
on my main machine I got an error of multiple connections not allowed, I attempted the fix posted by themadmax<\/p>\n
net use \/delete \\\\unc\\path<\/pre>\n
which didn’t work probably cause this path I was testing against was a mapped drive for my local logged in user. I followed up by running the commands from an alternative machine I knew had access to the share and DC’s.<\/p>\n
Sure enough this worked, I am now confident the username and password are correct.<\/p>\n
Hope this helps someone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
