Hi

We're dealing with the folloving event on some of the domain servers
(Win2003/2008)

Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The system detected a
possible attempt to compromise security. Please ensure that you can contact
the server that authenticated you. ). Group Policy processing aborted.



We have 3 Win2003 DC's, one of them has been disconected from LAN for 4
days, now it's back on. Since then tihs error apperas. Can anyone please
help or instruct me what to do? No changes have been made to all of the DC.
Do I need to re-sinchronize all DC or sometnig like that?

Regards,

Miha

Hello Miha,

To better assist, we will need additional info.

Please post an ipconfig /all from each DC. This will allow use to evaluate
any basic configuration issues.

Also post any EventID# errors you see in the event logs of any of the DCs or
other machines you are seeing errors regarding what you posted, or any other
AD communication errors.

Thank you,

If you feel this is an urgent issue and require immediate assistance, please
contact Microsoft PSS directly. Please check http://support.microsoft.com
for regional support phone numbers.
 
Run diagnostics against your Active Directory domain.

If you don't have the support tools installed, install them from your server
install disk.
d:\support\tools\setup.exe

Run dcdiag, netdiag and repadmin in verbose mode.
-> DCDIAG /V /C /D /E /s:yourdcname > c:\dcdiag.log
-> netdiag.exe /v > c:\netdiag.log (On each dc)
-> repadmin.exe /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt
-> ntfrsutl ds your_dc_name > c:\sysvol.log
-> dnslint /ad /s "ip address of your dc"

**Note: Using the /E switch in dcdiag will run diagnostics against ALL dc's
in the forest. If you have significant numbers of DC's this test could
generate significant detail and take a long time. You also want to take into
account slow links to dc's will also add to the testing time.

If you download a gui script I wrote it should be simple to set and run
(DCDiag and NetDiag). It also has the option to run individual tests without
having to learn all the switch options. The details will be output in
notepad text files that pop up automagically.

The script is located on my website at
http://www.pbbergs.com/windows/downloads.htm

Just select both dcdiag and netdiag make sure verbose is set. (Leave the
default settings for dcdiag as set when selected)

When complete search for fail, error and warning messages.
