Re: IAS Errors

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Yeah already checked that. On most occasions the Netbios type of resolution
always fails versus the DNS FQDN name spelled out style succeeds in a good
VPN connection. I should have added that very rarely does the error state
that the account is locked out. I wonder if there's a way to avoid the
Netbios domain resolution form of authentication.

I have 8 VPN users authenticating through a CheckPoint firewall over
RADIUS to one of 2 IAS Servers both of which are domain controllers.
Simply put when people succeed and 7 of them do, the following or
similar message gets put in the system log of the IAS server...

Note the Fully-Qualified-User-Name and correct Policy-Name being
present. The user name smells like DNS being resolved and this makes
sense to me. Now here's what happens to the one user that has 50%
success and 50% failure.

Only a person with administrative rights for either the computer or

Note the netbios resolution and lack of Policy Name. Why in the world
would this happen? No they are not really locked out. The message is
absolutely LYING! Thoughts?


Don't be so sure the account isn't 'locked'. We have an extensive
EAP/TLS wireless deployment and about half a dozen times over the last
couple of years we've had issues with users who got this error yet
looking at their account in AD U&C they don't show locked. However,
looking at the userAccountControl attribute showed it set to 528 (Normal
Account + Lockout). Resetting userAccountControl to 512 as resolved the
issue every time.
