Change password for krbtgt account

What is the criteria that MDI uses to determine whether the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-for-identity/security-posture-assessments/accounts#change-password-for-krbtgt-account recommendation has been completed? I'm working with an org where the passwordLastSet attribute on the krbtgt account says "never", yet this recommendation is showing "Completed".

  • I opened a support case, and the support engineer advised that a fix for the issue had been identified. It was deployed to our tenant this week and it resolved the issue.

    Thank you EliOfek​ for your assistance on this.

  • Hi, I have consulted a SME for this and he requested that you will open a support case so he can research this specific case. Can you please open such a case, and ask the support engineer to directly engage Ran Yagil from Engineering by my recommendation? Ran is the SME for this and he can check exactly what happened and why.

      Sadly I don't have the answer, but will try to find someone who does...
