About 6 months ago we upgraded our domain from NT4 to Windows 2003.
Everything went fine and it has been solid. We have only 3 NT4 servers left
and everything else is either Windows 2000 or 2003. We also run Exchange
2003 and we are a single domain in Windows 2003 Native Mode. Yesterday,
a user called and stated they no longer have access to a share on one of our
few remaining NT4 servers. I went a looked at the permissions and the user
account is listed as "Account Unknown" followed by the SID. You can
browse the directory and add permisions to shares, this will also display
correct object names. Once you add a user to the share and close the dialog
box, if you reopen the same dialog box the account name that could be
resolved a few seconds ago immediately shows"Account Unknown". This
share and permission problem happens only on NT clients and servers. No
other OS is affected and every other network service is fine. The event
viewers on all machines do not give any errors and I'm running out of ideas.
All servers reside in one domain and use our internal DNS servers and two
external WINS server. I have verified the secure channel with Netdom and
have removed a machine from the domain and readded it with no change. I
don't know what the problem is, has anyone ever seen this before?

Thanks,

Rob Humphrey
