Why each option
To diagnose why passwords are not resetting via PCNS between AD DS and AD LDS, you should enable detailed logging for the PCNS filter component.
The `EventLogLevel` registry entry provides more general event logging and is not specific enough for detailed troubleshooting of PCNS password synchronization failures.
While `EventLogLevel` pertains to the PCNS filter, it offers general event logging rather than the granular, specific password synchronization details provided by `FeaturePwdSyncLogLevel`.
Although `FeaturePwdSyncLogLevel` is the correct entry for detailed password synchronization logging, applying it to the PCNS *service* would not capture the low-level password interception and notification issues that occur at the PCNS *filter* level.
The `FeaturePwdSyncLogLevel` registry entry, when created for the Password Change Notification Service (PCNS) filter, enables detailed logging specific to password synchronization events. The PCNS filter resides on the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain controllers and is responsible for intercepting password changes and forwarding them to AD LDS, making its logs crucial for troubleshooting issues where passwords are not being reset on target systems.
