Hi,

Since changing our domain admin and local admin password we get EventID
12294 SAM errors logged in our system logs on the 2 domain controllers.

The error is The SAM database was unable to lockout the account
[]........(the other account on the other dc lists as ? in the event ID)

I've checked all services using domain admin and all are running, servers
have all been rebooted.

Turning up security logging reveals the userID Administrator fails on krbtgt
with pre-authentication and error code 0x18. Yet we've not changed this.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Paul

Hello,

I checked those articles and our servers are replicating okay. I've also ran
full virus scans on the network and it's clean.

Is there a way to find out where this is originating from as the events have
now switched to another DC, suggesting that something is authenticating
using incorrect credentials, and the eventcombmt tool just highlights what's
already in the event logs.

Thanks
