userAccountControl 528384: Computer (workstation or member server), trusted for delegation

userAccountControl Decoder: Decode Active Directory userAccountControl values (512, 514, 66048, 532480) into flags, see what each means and how to set it, or build one.

Active Directory keeps an account's switches (disabled, password never expires, trusted for delegation…) as bits added up in its userAccountControl attribute: 66048 is 65536 + 512. Type a value from ADSI Edit, Get-ADUser -Properties userAccountControl or a security report to see which flags it holds, what each means and how to change it, or tick flags below to build one. Flag names and values are from Microsoft's UserAccountControl property flags.

Try: 512, 514, 66048, 532480, 4096, 590336

 Unconstrained delegation: services on this account can act as any user who signs in to them, anywhere.
Normal on domain controllers; on anything else it's a well-known attack path. Prefer constrained or resource-based delegation.
Active Directory Users and Computers: "Trust this user/computer for delegation to any service (Kerberos only)"
PowerShell: Set-ADAccountControl -TrustedForDelegation $true
