Re: Event ID 537 and Kerberos



Thank you !

A virus is out of the questions because this server is brand new fresh
installed and not exposed to the LAN.
Is only connected to a Hardware Firewall Router (properly configured) by
NIC1 and to a Switch by NIC2 without Clients connected.
There is no third-party software installed - only software from SBS Premium
R2 Disk Kit.
I installed this server for 4 or 5 times until now (different aproach) and
this event appears every time.
Right now I install the server again and I will folow your recommendations.
Intended configuration:
1. Hardware Firewall Router.
2. Server with two NICs.
3. Windows Server 2003 + SP2
4. SQL Server + SP2
5. ISA Server 2004 + SP2
6. Exchange Server 2003 + SP2
7. WSUS 2
8. SharePoint Services 2
9. VPN, RWW, OWA, no Fax Service.

Regards,
Dan

Hi Dan,

Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.

From your description, I know that you get Event ID 537 every time you
boot
server. If I am off-base, please don¡¯t hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, a logon type of 3 translates to Network. Error
0xC00000DC means "STATUS_INVALID_SERVER_STATE" and you can try a reboot of
the server.

Please take the following steps to see if the problem can be resolved:

Step 1: Please make a clean boot. The problem occurs when third-party
software installed which need to communicate with the network, but it does
not support Kerberos authentication. It is known that "hp laser jet tool
box" and some other third-party software will have this issue.

1. Click Start->Run...->type msconfig and press Enter.
2. Click Services tab and select Hide All Microsoft Services and Disable
All third party Services.
3. Click Startup tab and Disable All startup items.
4. Click OK and choose Restart.
5. After reboot, check whether the problem still occurs.
6. If there are no more problems, please use the above steps to enable
services and startup items one by one in order to figure out the root
cause
of this issue.

Step 2: Use an Enterprise anti-virus with updated signatures and scan you
machine. The problem may be caused by some virus.

Step3: Implement Strong password policies. To do this:

Open ''Server Management console'', navigate to Users snap-in. In the
right
panel, click ''Configure Password Policies''. Enable the password
policies.

For more information, please refer to:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/technologies/
security/bpactlck.mspx

Step 4: Configure account lockout policy.

1) Click Start, click Settings, click Control Panel, double-click
Administrative Tools, and then double-click Active Directory Users and
Computers.
2) In the console tree, right-click the domain on which you want to set a
Group Policy object.
3) Click Properties, and then click the Group Policy tab.
4) In Group Policy Object Links, click Default Domain Policy or create and
name your Group Policy object, and then click Edit.
5) In the console tree, double-click Computer Configuration, double-click
Windows Settings, double-click Security Settings, double-click Account
Policies, and then click Account Lockout Policy.
6) In the details pane, right-click the policy setting that you want, and
then click Properties.
7) If you are defining this policy setting for the first time, click
Define
this policy setting.
8) Click the options that you want, and then click OK.

For medium security requirement, the recommended configurations are:

Reset account lockout counter after: 30
Account lockout duration: 30
Account Lockout Threshold: 10
For high security requirement, the recommendations are:
Reset account lockout counter after: 30
Account lockout duration: 0
Account Lockout Threshold: 10

For more information, please refer to:

If the problem still exists, please kindly collect the following
information for further research:

MPS Report

1) Download MPS report tool from:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.EXE
2)? Run the MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.exe on the server box.
3) Wait for 10~15 minutes.
4)? Open Windows explorer, navigate to
%SYSTEMROOT%\MPSReports\Setup\Reports\cab\
5) Send the .cab file to us.

Please send to information to v-robeli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with subject:

I am looking forward to hear from you.

If you need further assistance, please don¡¯t hesitate to let me know.
