Problem:
Users attempting to access a specific server over the LAN or WAN using run: “\\servername” and “\\servername\sharedfoldername” get an error stating that “\\servername is not accessible... You might not have permission... Contact an admin... Login failure: The Account name is incorrect”. However, you can connect using run: “server ip” or “\\server ip\sharedfoldername”.
I notice that on the client machines under event view:system there is an error stating:
“The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server host/servername.domainname.com. This indicates that the password used to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target server. Commonly, this is due to identically named machine accounts in the target realm (DOMAINNAME.COM), and the client realm. Please contact your system administrator”
I am not sure if this is the root of the problem, but so far it is the only thing that I have noticed that struck me as odd, and I am assuming it is related.
I only get this error once in the log, but I get it around the time of the first attempted access to the server. On several of the machines, using cmd: ipconfig /flushdns and then restarting the PC fixed the problem temporarily, but the issue returned the next day. The server is running Win2k3, the clients are all WinXP Pro. I have a couple of other servers that don’t have the issue, just this one which is the primary server. Thanks for any help or ideas on what to look for, I’ve had a lot of trouble tracking anything down so far.
