Hi
I am getting “logon failure: the target account name is incorrect” error when trying to add a computer to the domain
Office network runs on windows 2003 server and we have to DC both 2003. Client computers are xp and windows 7. This particular computer dropped out from the network and I removed it from the domain and trying to add this back on to the domain.
I have noticed few computers also getting random errors that they can’t access network share by name (\\servernaem\share) but they can access share by its ip (\\192.168.19.2\share) but when I restart then computer they are working fine.
I have a feeling that this is got to do with Kerbros security. I have seen few event log errors on the server they are
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Kerberos
Event Category: None
Event ID: 4
Date: 26/04/2013
Time: 10:17:01 AM
User: N/A
Computer: PERTHSRV2
Description:
The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server perthadmin5$. The target name used was cifs/PERTHADMIN5.entpubperth.entertainmentbook.com.au. 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 (ENTPUBPERTH.ENTERTAINMENTBOOK.COM.AU), and the client realm. Please contact your system administrator.
