Set-ADDBBootKey

SYNOPSIS

Re-encrypts a ntds.dit file with a new BootKey/SysKey.

SYNTAX

Set-ADDBBootKey -OldBootKey <Byte[]> [-NewBootKey <Byte[]>] [-Force] -DatabasePath <String> [-LogPath <String>]
 [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Decrypts the password encryption key list from the pekList domain attribute using the current/old boot key and re-encrypts it using a new one. This might be useful during some DC restore operations. Note that this procedure is highly unsupported by Microsoft.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

PS C:\> Set-ADDBBootKey -DatabasePath 'C:\Backup\Active Directory\ntds.dit' `
                        -LogPath 'C:\Backup\Active Directory' `
                        -OldBootKey 610bc29e6f62ca7004e9872cd51a0116 `
                        -NewBootKey 6ffec6b70dc863db1906a5507c0576ee
