Hello Sean,

Thank you for posting here. Let's also thank Duncan and Holz for the input.

According to your description, I understand that you get event error 529 on
SBS after you change the domain administrator's password. If I have
misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, I suggest we try the following steps to see if we can
resolve this issue:

1. The stored use name and password may cause this issue. Please empty the
Stored user name and password on the problematic member servers:

a. Please logon problematic member servers with local administrator

b. Open Control Panel, double click Store User Names and Passwords

c. Remove all items in the list.

d. Restart the computer to test this issue.

2. Install latest service pack for member servers and SBS server:

How to obtain the latest service pack for Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=889100

3. This behavior can happen when the machine password is not properly sync
between SBS and member servers.

In order to reset the machine account password of a domain controller use:

NETDOM RESETPWD /Server:ServerName /UsedD:Administrator /PasswordD:*

The syntax of this command is:
NETDOM RESETPWD /Server:domain-controller /UserD:user /PasswordD:[password
| *]

NETDOM RESETPWD Resets the machine account password for the domain
controller
on which this command is run. Currently there is no support for resetting
the machine password of a remote machine or a member server. All parameters
must be specified.

/Server Name of a specific domain controller that should have its
machine account password reset.

/UserD User account used to make the connection with the domain
controller specified by the /Server argument.

/PasswordD Password of the user account specified with /UserD. A *
means
to prompt for the password

After completing the command, reboot the server.

4. As I know, some 3rd-party software will refer to this issue if they
trying to use invalid credentials to log on to IIS. I suggest we try to do
clean boot on the member servers to narrow down it:

To clean boot the server, please use the steps below:
a. Click Start, click Run, and then in the Open box, type "MSCONFIG"
(without the quotation marks). Click OK.

b. In the System Configuration Utility (MSConfig) window, click to select
the Selective Startup button.

c. Click to clear the check mark from the "Load startup items" below
Selective Startup.

d. Click the Services tab, click to check the "Hide All Microsoft Services"
box, and remove all the check marks from the remained Non-Microsoft
Services.

e. Click OK to close the MSConfig window. Click Yes when you are asked to
restart your computer in order to enable the changes.

f. After restarting, please check whether this issue will reoccur.

g. 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.

5. Some virus may cause this issue. Please use the anti-virus software to
perform full scan on the SBS and all member servers.

If we cannot resolve the issue after we perform the above steps, please
help me collect some information for further investigation:

1. Gather MPS network report on SBS and one problematic member server:

a. Download MPSrepot_network from
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_NETWORK.EXE

b. Run MPSRPT_NETWORK.exe.

c. The tool will automatically collect the information. This procedure will
take 10~15 minutes.

d. Open Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder:
%SystemRoot%\MPSReports\Network\Reports\Cab\

e. Send the .cab file directly to me at v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Note: Please let me know which MPS report comes from SBS, and which comes
from member server.

2. Please try to change the Administrator password back to original one.
Does the issue disappear?

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)

| Ok,
