Re: Why are my workstations changing their passwords?

I doubt anyone will see this, but just in case... The answer is a "new
improved" version of HP's Credential Manager. Uninstall it, and you'll stop
filling up the DC logs with useless Event 565 messages.

using the same process, yet these latest ones seem to be the only ones with
this issue.

Hello David,

One question about the machines, are they cloned without sysprepping them?

Jorge, thanks for the response. What you say sounds reasonable
enough, but I'm seeing a burst of about 40 of the same messages for a
single workstation every 1-2 minutes. That's about 28,800 messages
per day for each workstation. All the same, all successful. They
usually have the same time stamp, although it can spread over 3-4
seconds. It seems a bit excessive to me... And while I do see these
messages occasionally for other computers, it's mostly just the group
I recently deployed. Users are able to work on these machines without
problems.

I recently deployed half a dozen XP Pro workstations, in a native
Windows Server 2003 domain. I'm now seeing success audit messages
in the security log on all domain controllers for Event 565. The
accesses listed are:

READ_CONTROL
WritePreferences
ReadAccdount
SetPassword (without knowledge of old password)
These messages are showing up 30-40 times a second every 1-2
minutes, and mostly (but not always) for the newly deployed
workstations. I can't say that I've spent a lot of time analyzing
the security logs, but I haven't noticed this before. Can someone
shed a little light on this please?

Thanks in advance...
