Would appear there is a mistype (short one "0") in the name of the server in NT server
manager:

"SERVER2000 failed to authenticate. The
'--'name of the account referenced in the security database is SERVER200$. "

'--'Hello,
'--' I am having a very weird problem and I really it. We have a PDCdon't know
'--'how to fix that is a Windows NT 4.0 server and we also have few other
'--'Server 2000. The case is that one of them (the most important!) can not
'--'logon in the Domain. I don't know why.
'--' The error that appears in the event viewer is the following:
'--'
'--'"The session setup from the computer SERVER2000 failed to authenticate. The
'--'name of the account referenced in the security database is SERVER200$. The
'--'following error occurred: Access is denied"
'--'
'--' I have read a lot of document in internet an the most intestesting is the
'--'following:
'--'http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216393/EN-US/
'--'The problem is that I have not the command ntdom.exe nor Nltest.exe
'--'
'--'I also have not any other CD other than the Windows 2000 Server CD.
'--'
'--'Until now, I have tried things like changing the name and IP address of
'--'server 2000, I have also try to remove and add it from the server manager in
'--'Windows NT.
'--'
'--'Thank for any help or idea.
