" Logon Failure: The target account name is incorrect".

[lelandz]

I have a windows 2000 domain including two PDCs, I am in
trouble:

1.some computers can not access the shared folders in one
PDC(the PDC is also a file server) and get the error
messages :
" Logon Failure: The target account name is incorrect".
but some other computers can access the shared folder;

2. And another strange thing is : the changes of user
account in one PDC is not synchronized in another.

What happened? and How can i fix problem?


Thanks

To resolve this issue, wait for replication to complete before you create
Active Directory directory service replicas.

If you cannot wait for replication to complete, use the domain administrator
account from the domain that will contain the new replicas. Alternatively,
make sure that all domain controllers in the root domain have replicated,
and then create the replicas by using the root domain administrator account.
To force replication, use tools such as Replmon.exe or Repadmin.exe.
Replmon.exe and Repadmin.exe are included in the Windows 2000 Support Tools.

I find 2 logs in event:

Event ID: 1586

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: NTDS Replication
Event Category: Replication
Event ID: 1586
Date: 2003-9-11
Time: 15:02:06
User: Everyone
Computer: ESOPDC

Description:
The checkpoint with the PDC was unsuccessful. The
checkpointing process will be retried again in four hours.
A full synchronization of the

security database to downlevel domain controllers may take
place if this machine is promoted to be the PDC before the
next successful

checkpoint. The error returned was: The DSA operation is
unable to proceed because of a DNS lookup failure.

Event ID: 13508

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: NtFrs
Event Category: None
Event ID: 13508
Date: 2003-9-12
Time: 16:38:30
User: N/A
Computer: ESOPDC
Description:
The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling
replication from SHDC to ESOPDC for c:\winnt\sysvol\domain
using the DNS name SHDC.
huatek.com. FRS will keep retrying.

Following are some of the reasons you would see this
warning.

[1] FRS can not correctly resolve the DNS name
SHDC.huatek.com from this computer.
[2] FRS is not running on SHDC.huatek.com.
[3] The topology information in the Active Directory for
this replica has not yet replicated to all the Domain
Controllers.

This event log message will appear once per connection,
After the problem is fixed you will see another event log
message indicating that
the connection has been established.

According the above 2 events, i think it's maybe NTDS
duplicate failure becase of the DNS lookup problem.

So I used command 'nslookup' to check dns on both DC
servers, they can resolve names for each other properly.

It puzzled me.

Any help would be appreciated.
