Multiple event IDs 675, 676 and 681

M

Madrilleno

I have a domain running in mixed mode which has two Server 2008 DCs and a
Server 2000 DC. The server 2000 DC holds the five FSMO roles.

I am seeing a lot of Event ID 675,676 & 681 in the security logs denoting
authentication failures.

I have trawled around on the Internet for hours, but have not found any
pointers to why these are happening.

The DC is a virtual server which I am using to stage on my route to running
the domain as Server 2008 native. There are no corresponding errors on the
2k8 DCs.

Hello Madrilleno,

Basically these are authentication errors, maybe through some service accounts
where you changed passwords? So if you check the events, are they pointing
to users or computers?

Did you look here:

The events show both machine and user accounts, and yes, I have been through
eventid.net, but I couldn't find anything helpful.

Hi,

Thanks for posting here.

Form my understanding, you have promoted Windows server 2008 as an
additional DC of windows serve 2000.On the server of windows server 2000
holding all FSMO roles, you found some security error messages in Event
log. If I misunderstood, please advise me.

Event ID: 675
Event Type: Failure Audit
Event Source: Security
Computer:
Event Category: Account Logon
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Description:
Pre-authentication failed:
Service Name: krbtgt

The failure might be due to time skew > 5 minutes. Please check the time
and time zone between the client and server. Are they synchronized? If not,
please use net time command to force them to synchronize. You can refer to
the following articles:

Using the NET TIME Command to Synchronize Windows XP Workstations
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314090

Net Time
http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/396e2cab-b011-459a-ac
5c-326a562d42461033.mspx?mfr=true

NET TIME /Domain Will Not Sync Time with Domain Time Source Server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/193825

In addition, Event ID 676 and 681 is related to Password authorization
failure. Windows server 2000 holds PDC role that is responsible for
password verification, so the corresponding verification error may occur
much on it. Please check if some users passwords have been expired or
locked.

Also, I suggest you transfer FSMO roles to the server with Windows server
2008 to test the result. You can refer to the following article to perform
to transfer FSMO roles.

Using Ntdsutil.exe to transfer or seize FSMO roles to a domain controller

If anything is unclear or you need further assistance, please post back.

1. There is no time skew on any of my DCs.
2. There are no users with locked out accounts.

I will try moving the FSMOs to a 2k8 server.

Morgan che

Hi,

Ok, please transfer FSMOs to the WIndows server 2008 server to test the
result. if this issue still persists, please post here with the latest
symbols.

This is a live installation, so I have to explore other avenues before I
transfer the FSMOs. At the moment, I have a suspicion that the problem lies
somewhere between DNS and machine account passwords being out of sync. I have
just unjoined a suspect client from the domain, deleted its account in AD,
then joined it again. I had already tried resetting its password using netdom
to no avail. I am now monitoring to see if this has had any effect.
