This event code EventID 100 Source MSFTPSVC with the message of

The server was unable to logon the Windows NT account 'admin' due to the following error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. The data is the error code.

Has been showing up in my event viewer after I recently changed the admin password. I have checked everywhere I can possibly think of to make sure any service / setting is using the new password, but cant seem to find it anywhere.

The FTP site is not set up to allow anonymous access.

I have ran out of ideas, searched deja, microsoft , and about 3 other bbs's and no luck.

any ideas??


thanks in advance
Rob
 
One thing I forgot to mention...

The event is showing up about every 20 some seconds, and fills my system log..

do you have exchange running on this system too?? that sounds like exchange may be using the admin with the old password...
 
Yes, exchange is also on the machine. I have changed everything I could find in exchange.

The FTP log file is showing the admin trying to login but not being successful

thanks
