IdentityLogonEvents - IsNtlmV1
Hi, I cannot find documentation on how the IdentityLogonEvents table's AdditionalFields.IsNtlmV1 populated. In a demo environment, I intentionally "enforced" NTLMv1 and made an NTLMv1 connection to a domain controller. On the DC's Security log, event ID 4624 shows correct info: Detailed Authentication Information: Logon Process: NtLmSsp Authentication Package: NTLM Transited Services: - Package Name (NTLM only): NTLM V1 Key Length: 128 On MDI side however it looks like this: (using the following KQL to display relevant info here: IdentityLogonEvents | where ReportId == @"f70dbd37-af8e-4e4e-a77d-b4250f9e0d0b" | extend todynamic(AdditionalFields) | project TimeGenerated, ActionType, Application, LogonType, Protocol,IsNtlmV1 = AdditionalFields.IsNtlmV1 ) TimeGenerated ActionType Application LogonType Protocol IsNtlmV1 Nov 28, 2025 10:43:05 PM LogonSuccess Active Directory Credentials validation Ntlm false Can someone please explain, under which circumstances will the IsNtlmV1 property become "true"?

Hello, i've installed MDI on all of our domain controllers and everything went fine. I am trying to install MDI our Entra connect server and our certificate authority server (which are not domain controllers) and the service is continually failing to start. Could someone please point me in the right direction on how to rectify this? I've tried: recreating the service account (3x), checking the service account with Test-ADServiceAccount (works fine from both member servers) verified the service account is given the right to log on as service. The error log is very vague: 2025-11-13 19:05:30.0968 Error DirectoryServicesClient+<CreateLdapConnectionAsync>d__49 Microsoft.Tri.Infrastructure.ExtendedException: CreateLdapConnectionAsync failed [DomainControllerDnsName={FQDN of DC}] at async Task<LdapConnection> Microsoft.Tri.Sensor.DirectoryServicesClient.CreateLdapConnectionAsync(DomainControllerConnectionData domainControllerConnectionData, bool isGlobalCatalog, bool isTraversing) at async Task<bool> Microsoft.Tri.Sensor.DirectoryServicesClient.TryCreateLdapConnectionAsync(DomainControllerConnectionData domainControllerConnectionData, bool isGlobalCatalog, bool isTraversing) 2025-11-13 19:05:30.1124 Error DirectoryServicesClient Microsoft.Tri.Infrastructure.ExtendedException: Failed to communicate with configured domain controllers [ _domainControllerConnectionDatas={FQDN of DC}] at new Microsoft.Tri.Sensor.DirectoryServicesClient(IConfigurationManager configurationManager, IDirectoryServicesDomainNetworkCredentialsManager domainNetworkCredentialsManager, IDomainTrustMappingManager domainTrustMappingManager, IRemoteImpersonationManager remoteImpersonationManager, IMetricManager metricManager, IWorkspaceApplicationSensorApiJsonProxy workspaceApplicationSensorApiJsonProxy) at object lambda_method(Closure, object[]) at object Autofac.Core.Activators.Reflection.ConstructorParameterBinding.Instantiate() at void Microsoft.Tri.Infrastructure.ModuleManager.AddModules(Type[] moduleTypes) at new Microsoft.Tri.Sensor.SensorModuleManager() at ModuleManager Microsoft.Tri.Sensor.SensorService.CreateModuleManager() at async Task Microsoft.Tri.Infrastructure.Service.OnStartAsync() at void Microsoft.Tri.Infrastructure.TaskExtension.Await(Task task) at void Microsoft.Tri.Infrastructure.Service.OnStart(string[] args)tandersnNov 26, 2025Copper Contributor262Views0likes5CommentsChange 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".rgsteeleNov 16, 2025Copper Contributor43Views0likes0CommentsMDI AD CS sensor not switching from removed DC
We are in the process of replacing our Domain Controllers. What I found is that the MDI sensor on our PKI server is still stuck with a domain controller which has been demoted and removed from the domain. (Sensor version: 2.250.18972.18405) I guess, if I reinstall the sensor, it will find a new domain controller - but what if it finds a DC that is to be decommissioned? Should I reinstall the sensor until it choses a "new" DC? Thank you in advance, DanielSolvedkuglidaniNov 10, 2025Copper Contributor102Views0likes2CommentsIncorrect Secure Score recommendation - Remove unnecessary replication permissions
Hi, In our environment, we got the "Remove unnecessary replication permissions for Entra Connect AD DS Connector Account" secure score recommendation. Based on the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-for-identity/remove-replication-permissions-microsoft-entra-connect replication permission is needed when PHS is in use. We are using PTA, but PHS is also enabled as a fallback. On the Entra Connect server I ran the following: Import-Module ADSyncDiagnostics Invoke-ADSyncDiagnostics -PasswordSync The result is: Password Hash Synchronization cloud configuration is enabled If I remove the replication permission, we soon receive an alert that password hash sync did not occour. Is it normal? I would say that the sensor should be able to detect PHS usage hence not recommending to remove the permissions. Thank you in advance, DanielSolved124Views0likes2CommentsAlert Not Found
We are receiving the following the follow alert from Defender; 2025-08-15T09:26:42-07:00 {SERVERNAME} CEF[6208]0|Microsoft|Azure ATP|##########|AccountEnumerationSecurityAlert|Account enumeration reconnaissance|5|start=2025-08-15T16:23:14.5550516Z app=Ntlm shost=NULL shostfqdn= msg=An actor on NULL performed suspicious account enumeration, exposing 6 existing account names. externalId=2003 cs1Label=url cs1=https://security.microsoft.com/alerts/xx###xxxx-#xx#-####-#x##-##x##x#x#x#x cs2Label=trigger cs2=update But when we go to the URL listed, we get an error that it can't be found. We are able to see other alerts that come in. How do I go about finding the details on this error?edhealeaAug 20, 2025Copper Contributor120Views0likes2CommentsAgent install error
Hi Everyone, One of the servers running the agent was failing to update so I attempted a reinstall. During install it fails / rollsback with an error in the log stating "failed connecting to service. The issue can be caused by a transparent proxy configuration". The device does use a proxy set via netsh, and I've tried specifying it on the command line of the install. I have read elsewhere that this can be related to SSL inspection or an issue with Root CAs on the device. I know there is no inspection going on in this case. I have compared the Root CA list on this device to working devices and don't see anything related to Microsoft that is different. Any ideas?BobbersAug 05, 2025Copper Contributor175Views0likes1Comment
