Hi,
Previously my secondary DC (server name is "sdc") was down so I boot up the image backup of the same server as a virtualized server in another computer.
Once I fixed my secondary DC server, I shut down the virtualized server, and let the actual secondary DC run.
I can log in with no problem. The Primary DC (server name is "pdc") and Secondary DC can ping each other.
Everything went well until the next morning, I found out I couldn't log into the secondary DC anymore. The error message says "The username or password is incorrect". The Primary DC and Secondary DC can ping each other though. Both my servers are running Window Server 2008
Below are an extract from the dcdiag command :

Event String:
The Kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server sdc$. The target name used was cifs/Sdc.xyz.com.my. This indicates that the target server failed to decrypt the ticket provided by the client. This can occur when the target server principal name (SPN) is registered on an account other than the account the target service is using. Please ensure that the target SPN is registered on, and only registered on, the account used by the server. This error can also happen when the target service is using a different password for the target service account than what the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) has for the target service account.
Please ensure that the service on the server and the KDC are both updated to use the current password. If the server name is not fully qualified, and the target domain (XCZ.COM.MY) is different from the client domain (XYZ.COM.MY), check if there are identically named server accounts in these two domains, or use the fully-qualified name to identify the server.
