How can I view the contents of the netlogon change (netlogon.chg) file?

A. You can't read netlogon.chg using a standard text editor, but Windows 2000 Support Tools supplies the nltest.exe utility that you can use to view the contents of netlogon.chg. Execute the following command:

C:\> nltest /list_deltas:netlogon.chg

The system will display a lot of information, listing all changes made to the domain. The trust entry that appears in the Local Security Authority (LSA) Database section consists of entries similar to the following:
