I have a server in my network that Event Viewer has the following message:

The account-identifier allocator failed to initialize properly. The record
data contains the NT error code that caused the failure. Windows 2000 will
retry the initialization until it succeeds; until it that time, account
creation will be denied on this domain controller. Please look for other SAM
event logs that may indicate the exact reason for the failure.

How can i solve this problem?

Thanks
Mario Videira

Maybe you could give us some more info?
"The record data contains the NT error code that caused the failure"
"Please look for other SAM event logs that may indicate the exact reason
for the failure"
