How AD decides Kerberos encryption type per user/computer basis

Supposed that there is no GPO to enforce supported ciphers, on a per principal basis, it is determined as below:


If msDS-SupportedEncryptedTypes is populated, then use values defined in this attribute. It's a 5-bit flag
      • bit 0   DES-CBC-CRC
      • bit 1   DES-CBC-MD5
      • bit 2   RC4-HMAC
      • bit 3   AES128-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96
      • bit 4   AES256-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96
If msDS-SupportedEncryptedTypes is NOT populated, then AD reads values in userAccoutControl

              • if 0x200000 is set, DES will be used
              • if 0x200000 is not set, default to RC4 for 2008/7 and later

          Default behavior:
          • Computer account: msDS-SupportedEncryptedTypes set. OS 2008/Win7 and newer: DES is disabled
          • User account: msDS-SupportedEncryptedTypes is not set so RC4 is used see here, unless userAccountControl forces DES
          • Referral Ticket/Trust object: higher of DES/RC4 that is mutually supported by client and authenticating domain. If both client and trust don't have any custom value set, cipher is RC4.

            NOTE/WARNING: If you enabled "AES" support on trust using GUI, only AES will be supported; RC4 will be disabled. If you want to add "AES" on top of RC4, use ksetup to change trust.
          PS. Above behavior is always for Service Ticket.
              Since TGT is meant for DCs to read, it always uses what DC supports, and is irrelevant to what is defined on individual accounts.

          Sample Script to find risky users

          #Bitwise AND: 1.2.840.113556.1.4.803
          #Bitwise OR : 1.2.840.113556.1.4.804
          # 2097152 is 0x200000, bit mask for userAccountControl DES enforced
          # 3 is 0b11, covers the last 2 bits of msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes, which enables DES

          # list users who
              # user object, and
              # enabled, and
