Monitors the health of the Windows Service: KDC

Knowledge Base article:

Additional

The Key Distribution Center (KDC) service is not running on this domain controller. The KDC is essential for supporting Kerberos on the Active Directory® directory service. This corresponds to a matching success alert: Kerberos Key Distribution Center Service (KDC) has resumed running. Note: Pausing the KDC is an expected and supported option if you are trying to repair a replication problem that results from an expired machine account password. In all other cases, restart the KDC service immediately.
