GetUserNameEx fails with error 14 in userenv.log

Hi all

I'm getting strange errors in the userenv.log file. Can't find a
direct reference to error 14. The GPOs are not applying to a number of
PCs. We use a single domain for users and computers, all machines are
w2ksp3 and built from an image. Seems like the machine is not talking
to the domain controller. Other machines are successfully reading the
gpos from the same domain controller.

Any ideas would be appreciated

If you do a "net helpmsg 14" at a command prompt the error relates back to
"Not enough storage is available to complete this operation" which in this
case can be the number of groups the computer/user is a member of causing a
problem for maxtokensize. Take a look at the following articles that
discuss this type of issue.

Thanks Gary. I'll try it out today and post my findings.

Much Appreciated

Andrew

We installed SP4 on the domain controllers and set the maxtokensize
value to 100000 in ther registry. That fixed it...

The document from MS you mentioned describes how to do it.

Thanks very much for you help!
