Test-MtAdComputerNonDcConstrainedDelegationCount

SYNOPSIS​

Counts non-domain controller computers with constrained delegation configured.

SYNTAX​

Test-MtAdComputerNonDcConstrainedDelegationCount [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION​

Constrained delegation (also known as "protocol transition" or "S4U2Proxy") allows a service to impersonate a user to specific services only. While safer than unconstrained delegation, it should still be carefully reviewed and minimized. This test identifies non-DC computers with constrained delegation enabled.

Security Considerations:

  • Constrained delegation is safer than unconstrained but still carries risk
  • Should be limited to specific required scenarios (e.g., web applications)
  • Each computer with constrained delegation should be reviewed
  • Consider using resource-based constrained delegation as a more secure alternative
