| | Pre-authentication failed We just added an Windows Vista Ultimate compute to our Windows 2003 domain. Now our PDC will log these failure audits every so often for the Vista machine. Anyone have any ideas? Pre-authentication failed: User Name: COMPUTERNAME$ User ID: DOMAINNAME\COMPUTERNAME$ Service Name: krbtgt/DOMAINNAME.LOCAL Pre-Authentication Type: 0x0 Failure Code: 0x19 Client Address: 192.168.1.65 |

| Vista Ultimatex32 | Re: Pre-authentication failed Hi James, I have this problem too, just the Vista computer. Switching on this computer generates 4 loggings on the PDC. The only thing I have found out is: "Check the User ID field. Most events generated by computer accounts are safe to ignore. Determine the reason for the authentication failure by checking Failure Code. TGT failures are usually due to a bad password or time synchronization between workstation and domain controller. If Failure Code indicates a bad password, how many failures exist for the same account? Look at the client IP address. Is an innocent user error or malicious attack indicated. If practical contact user regarding their recent logon attempts." In other words, in our case it's safe to ignore these failure messages. What I don't quite understand is that there is no real solution or workaround, if a message is safe to ignore why log it in the first place. Anyhow, I'll keep looking and post it when I find out how to solve this one. |
